5/21/2009 Kristin Fulenwider said: Ruth White does a great job of dealing with tough issues in Belle Prater's Boy. The characters are well-developed and relatable. If you are looking for a book for children who are dealing with the loss of a parent -- this is a great one to recommend. I am looking forward to reading the sequel.
