Staff Reviews
When I tell you that 12-year-old Edward of the title is the only survivor of a plane crash that takes his beloved brother and parents, you will probably decide that this book is too depressing. Please don't make this mistake! Ann Napolitano does the impossible and transforms unspeakable tragedy into an uplifting story of love, resiliency, and grace.

“A stunning portrayal of what it means to be a survivor and the fine balance between surviving and actually finding the will to move forward from the shattered remains of your life. This is what 12-year-old Eddie — now known as Edward — must deal with as the sole survivor of a plane crash in which 191 people, including his immediate family, perished. Dear Edward is a novel that pierces you to the core with its depiction of grief, guilt, loneliness, and remorse, but through glimpses of hope, friendship, and kindness, shows how Edward slowly mends.”
