Heba’s comments from the S.S. Rebel Alliance (Silent Sustained Reading Discussions) group.

Sarah Ockler's "Fixing Delilah" follows Delilah Hannaford as she learns the true importance of family and uncovers her family's secrets. Regarding the fight that split the family apart, the truth about her father, and the unexpected death of her aunt Stephanie. This story is a perfect example how "Family. It's not always a perfect fit."

I'm currently reading, A Song For Ella Grey by David Almond. The theme of death is evident when Ella Grey dies from snake bites shortly after her wedding. Claire and Orpheus (her best friend and husband) are devastated by this and believe that they can bring her back from the dead. I have to continue reading to find out what happens, next...

A Song For Ella Grey,
Is a modern take on the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Claire and Ella, two teenagers with an unbreakable friendship until a strange yet handsome man strolls onto the beach and changes their lives forever. He sings them into a different reality in which they gain a new understanding about themselves. Ella instantly falls in love with him while her best friend is left behind.
