Jay | 10 comments A girl's family owns a cemetery and lives on the property and she is trying to find something out and finds stars on the floor of her house and investigates further and learns her house was used during prohibition or as part of the underground railroad. She recently lost someone close to her and describes the feeling as the" big empty" and hot chocolate feels important to part of it. I read it for a school book club run by our librarian.

I'm not sure but I believe she was around 10-13 years old.

I woke up to an ache in my chest, the smell of chocolate, and the sound of the ghost making a racket in the kitchen. Now, I'm not the sort to dwell on doom and sorrow. Life is too short for that. But I should at least try to describe the ache briefly: It is not the kind that comes from eating tacos too late at night. It's the kind that comes from being left behind. I think my heart is smart enough to know there's a place I should be filling with new memories, new jokes, and wondrous adventures with the one person I loved most of all. But that person is gone now. And so, my heart has a giant hole. I call it The Big Empty.
