Umbrella Summer by Lisa Graff is a tear jerk-er about a girl named Annie. Annie's brother died leaving her worried all the time. She worries about everything from safely riding her bike to deadly diseases. Throughout the story Annie experiences a number a different changes in her life; the insertion of a new neighbor that she befriends being one of them. I loved the message this story told: the community could help Annie save herself, from herself. In the end Annie learns that worrying all the time is unnecessary and she learns to live her life with less worries! This book is a semi-long read, but definitely a great one.
