Prepare to be deeply moved by Ann Napolitano's "Dear Edward," a compelling novel that explores the profound themes of love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

The story begins on a fateful day when a commercial airliner crashes in the Colorado Rockies, claiming the lives of all but one passenger: a 12-year-old boy named Edward Adler. Miraculously, Edward survives the crash with only minor physical injuries.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, Edward is left alone and lost. His parents, his brother, and his best friend are all gone. He is taken in by Aunt Lacey, a distant relative who struggles to understand his grief and help him cope with his trauma.

As Edward navigates the complexities of his new reality, he finds solace in writing letters to the victims of the crash. These letters are filled with his memories, his thoughts, and his hopes for the future. Through these letters, Edward gradually begins to heal and find a way to live with his loss.
