Trudy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A thoughtful first novel about a young girl who has problems at school and is also coping with elderly parents, one of whom develops altzheimers. Good material for PHSE in school - and chapters can be isolated to discuss different issues. A favourite read with mature 5th grade girls.
Wonderful family story!

I bought this book for my daughter since her grandmother has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She and I both read Trudy together and fell in love with the story-especially the main character. I felt that the portrayal of Alzheimer's was accurate and honest. I'd definitely recommend Trudy to children and adults who are dealing with illness or who are looking for a beautiful written story.
