Seriously...that is the title: One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies by Sonya Sones 268 pp.
This was another re-read that I'll be discussing at the Lieberman Center. After her mother's death, fifteen year old Ruby is forced to leave her home in Boston to live with the famous actor father she never met. The book is written as a series of poems and emails which makes it really quick reading while still getting the whole story across. I liked it the first time I read it and it still holds up. It should make for some fun discussion with the teens.
