So now in my book they go into a lot about Susie's family and their reactions.

Susie had a little brother and little sister. Her brother was about 4 years old and his name is Buckley and her little sister was 13 (just a year younger) and her name is Lindsey. This part about the book is really sad. At first, when the police told them about the elbow and blood, they didn't tell the children. Then Lindsey found out and what she did was basically numb herself so she wouldn't feel. She wouldn't care about anyone else and didn't want their sympathy. There was a part in the book where the mother wanted the Lindsey to come swim with her but Lindsey shouted "I would rather die!" and the mother ran into her room and started to cry. It was so sad.And the dad has a hobby of making ships in the glass bottles and Susie was the only one who shared his interest so when she died, he went in his den and broke all of his ships (there was A LOT). The mother and father avoid each other now basically, and the saddest part was when the father tried to explain what happened to Susie to 4 year old Buckley.

They were playing monopoly and the father was talking to Buckley. He was saying that Susie always played with the shoe so susie was the shoe now and all the other pieces were his family and friends and the board was the world. So they set up the game and his father said "Susie is dead, do you knw what that means?" and Buckley covered the shoe with his hand. Then the dad said "You won't see Susie anymore, none of us will" and started to cry.
