After Eli by Rebecca Rupp
When Danny's brother Eli is killed by an IED in Afghanistan, his whole world changes. Eli had always been there for Danny, teaching him everything he needed to know about life...how and when to swear, what to do about girls, and everything in between. But now his mother won't talk to anyone, his father is always angry, and Danny keeps a Book of the Dead where he writes about famous people and how they died. But this summer everything is about to change when Danny meets Isabelle and the twins, begins working for a friend of his brother's on an organic farm, and befriends the school weirdo. Told in a funny and heartfelt way, Danny's voice captures his love for his brother and the pain he feels at his loss on every page.
