3.10 Wenny Has Wings 240 pages a book with religious or spiritual theme.

In the fight with the truck barreling toward them, Wenny and Will lost big. Wenny lost her life. Will lost a sister — and lost faith in himself.

But then Will starts writing letters to Wenny. He tells her all about the secret of his near-death experience, and the troubles he's having at home. Some letters are funny. Some letters are harsh. And when read together, they tell the story of a boy who finds a way to move past death and learns how to live again....

3.25 Jerk, California by Jonathan Friesen (327 pages)

I'm going to recommend this book to my sister. It's about a young guy with Tourette's, and she has been a special needs champion (of sorts) for some time now. I think she'd appreciate the book. It's nice because it's not preachy with the social acceptance message, and is pretty much a "clean" book (minor swearing, an unwed character is pregnant). I enjoyed it overall.
