    Love Aubrey was a good book worth reading. It was sad, yet occasionally frustrating, but overall a enjoyable book. It is obviously a newberry choice.

    Love,Aubrey was such a sweet book for young middle schoolers. It shows the growth of great relationships between family and friends. The real-life situations are heart-wrenching, but such a joy to read.

    This is such an uplifting book about a girl who has experienced a tragedy but is able to get better with the help of her family and friends. I cried when I read it!
