About the Book
Blake and Brendan would do almost anything to get out of going to Mr. Becket’s funeral. It will be boring and sad—and dead people are scary! There might even be ghosts! But Mom and Dad insist. Mr. Becket was a good person, and it is right to gather with his family and friends to remember him and all the good things he did. So what’s so good about remembering a dead person? A lot. Readers learn with Blake and Brendan what it means to be a good person and all the ways a good person makes a difference in people’s lives, even long after they’re gone.
My Take on the Book
While the story title does not specifically say this the book delves into not only issues of character and friendship, but it also talks about mortality and the footprint you want to leave in the world. The book is one that will really make you think and the book will open a door for a great conversation starter with your kids too.
