Book #11 -- Judith Caseley,
Do You Hear Me, Mr. Lincoln?, 243 pages.
When Sierra's father dies suddenly, the only comfort she has is talking to the portrait of Abraham Lincoln he bought her. Sierra pours her heart out to Mr. Lincoln -- grief over the loss of her father, worry about her friend Eli whose father is an alcoholic, her mother's depression, and the simple pains of growing up. It's a wonderful look at the trials of adolescence.
