Stinky Stern Forever

Pa Lia has never liked Stinky Stern, the enemy of the second grade. He makes fun of other kids, he says mean things, and he's always causing trouble. But when Stinky is suddenly hit by a car and killed, Pa Lia and the rest of the students in Mrs. Fennessey's class face a difficult challenge: How do you deal with the death of someone nobody really liked?

This moving story is certain to resonate with anyone who has ever experienced-or even just thought about-the loss of a classmate or friend.
