"I had everything I needed to run a household: a house, food, and a new family. From now on it would just be me and Sammy–the two of us, and no one else."

A tragic accident has turned eleven-year-old Aubrey’s world upside down. Starting a new life all alone, Aubrey has everything she thinks she needs: SpaghettiOs and Sammy, her new pet fish. She cannot talk about what happened to her. Writing letters is the only thing that feels right to Aubrey, even if no one ever reads them.
With the aid of her loving grandmother and new friends, Aubrey learns that she is not alone, and gradually, she finds the words to express feelings that once seemed impossible to describe. The healing powers of friendship, love, and memory help Aubrey take her first steps toward the future.
Readers will care for Aubrey from page one and will watch her grow until the very end, when she has to make one of the biggest decisions of her life.
Love, Aubrey is devastating, brave, honest, funny, and hopeful, and it introduces a remarkable new writer, Suzanne LaFleur. No matter how old you are, this book is not to be missed.

      Eleven-year-old Aubrey has been living on her own for a week, fending for herself in the aftermath of a horrible car accident that claimed half of her family and prompted her grief-stricken mother to abandon her. Becca Battoe's high, youthful voice is well suited to the story, which is told mostly from Aubrey's point of view and includes flashback accounts of her life. Though Battoe is less successful with other voices, notably those of older males such as Aubrey's neighbor and her uncle, her narration of Aubrey's story is engaging enough that this proves a minor distraction. Her childlike matter-of fact delivery allows young listeners to empathize with Aubrey's situation without being overwhelmed by it. J.C.G. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
