Mick Harte Was Here

This book is all about Phoebe and Mick. They are brother and sister and they fight all the time. One day Phoebe is looking through a cearal box for a skull and cross bones tatoo. Mick walks in and grabs the cearal box and starts looking through it. THey start to fight over the tatoo. In the end they go to school. But they did not know that it would be their last morning togheth. Later that afternoon Mick is riding on his bike to a friends house without his helmet on. He hits a rock and crashes into a truck. He gets massive head injury. THe hospital can't help him and he dies. It is very sad how Phoebe goes through the 5 stages of grief denial, anger, bargaining, and acceptance. In my opinon it is a very sad book. But it teaches kids about bike safty. I would rate this book a 9.5. Becuase it is sad but is good in teaching kids about safty
