Summary: |
Obie, a developmentally disabled boy dies causing a variety of emotional response from his friend Tatnall, an 11-year-old girl. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Because Tattnall's character is very clearly portrayed, learners may want to create a character sketch or do think-pair-share activities with her as the focus. Some discussion topics suggested by the book includes: Tattnall' relationship with Obie and its push-pull of love and guilt; and the everyday life during WW II in the South. |
