|  | Blue Eyes Better by Ruth Wallace-Brodeur
Ten-year-old Tessa and her family attempt to cope with the drunk driving death of Tessa's beloved older brother. In her grief, Tessa's mother leaves home--abandoning Tessa and her father. Unable to understand her mother's behavior, Tessa finds comfort in forging a stronger relationship with her father and forming friendships with an elderly neighbor and one of her school teachers. All three of these relationships help Tessa deal with the anger, guilt, and sorrow she feels not just over her brother's death but also over her mother's abandonment. AUTHOR: Ruth Wallace-Brodeur
