Missing May
When no one wanted Summer, May and her husband took her into their home in the hills of West Virginia. Though others believed she was worthless, May told her she was the best little girl in the world. Now May is dead, and 12-year-old Summer faces a loneliness too big to carry alone. She still desperately needs May to care for her, so she searches for some indication that May is watching over her. As each silent day passes, their home seems unbearably empty, and no sign appears. Can Summer contact May’s spirit? Missing May, winner of the Newbery Award, is a gentle tale about grief and friendship. Author of award-winning poems, short stories, and novels, Cynthia Rylant draws a sensitive portrait of this young girl’s poignant struggle to understand her devasting loss.
