Beautifully and sensitively written, Black Jack Jetty follows Jack as he copes with his father's death and journeys through his grief, anger, anxiety, and guilt.
Book Review and Awards
Learning Magazine Teachers' Choice Award for the Family "[Jack's] anger, guilt, and anxiety are all natural expressions of grief and realistic elements in the story. When the story ends, Carestio speaks directly to children who have experienced the death of a parent, writing realistically about what to expect. While this book will not take the place of a loving adult, or therapist, it can be one way to help children talk about their feelings." -- School Library Journal
