ABOUT THIS BOOK
This book is out of print.
Information about the book is provided to assist in obtaining it from other sources.

A moving and poetic story about a girl whose beloved grandfather battles cancer, becoming very different from the Gran-Gran who loved fishing, grew plants in old ice coolers, and took her on neighborhood "safaris." After he dies, she decides to keep his memory alive by telling her little sister all about him and the things he taught her. In so doing, she learns that those we love never leave our hearts-and that this is "love's best trick."
