Alma and After

I read these two books, in the last few days.

After was a tough book to read over the holidays. The story was about a boy whose dad died by commiting suicide. "After" comes into play when the boy has to deal with his feelings, after. This is a white pine nominee. More about that later. I loved this book and would give the story 4/5. A few spots of trouble with the plot flow but I liked the story.

Alma by William Bell

Cute story about a young girl who befriends an older lady. This is one of those stories where if I tell too much about the plot, I will give the story away.
4/5

I like Bell's writing style.
