Far Away by Lisa GraffMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A psychic medium communicates with a parent who has passed away. Sounds fun & sad all at the same time, right? It is both those things, but it is also heart-felt, a little twisted, and full of mystery. CJ Ames can only communicate with her deceased mother through her aunt who makes her living as a medium, but according to her aunt, her mom's spirit has gone to the Far Away, which means she can no longer reach her. CJ is determined to pull her mom’s spirit back from Far Away no matter what it takes, even if it means destroying her relationship with her aunt, the only mother she has ever known.
This story takes a deeper look at what it means to be a family. It shows that sometimes doing something "wrong," might be the best thing you can do to help someone. Recommended for 4th -8th grade.
