Why We Broke Up (354 Pages)

Your kids will like this book. It has a similar layout to The Absolutely True Story of a Part Time Indian.  There are many wonderful pastel drawings throughout the book. Min has filled a box with various reminders of her relationship with Ed. The book is written as a huge letter from Min to Ed, and as the reader progresses through the book Min takes us on the journey of her time spent "going out" with Ed. We are told of the movie theater, the Halloween party, the football game.And each special content in the box, allows her to relate something about their relationship to Ed and simultaneously to the reader. The drawings are wonderful, and add to our understanding of both Min and Ed. Enjoy!
