Why You Should Read “See You at Harry’s” By Jo Knowles Right Now!

 (This blog includes child death, if that makes you uncomfortable or triggers you, I don’t recommend reading this:)

See you at Harry's is a realistic fiction book about a toddler who dies. KEEP READING. This book is about a family who has a family business, so they see each other a lot, however, they are not close. They are all dealing with personal problems. Fern, the main character has Fern left out by her family since Charlie was born causing her to hate him. (He is 3) Fern is forced to babysit her annoying little brother (Charlie), until, after looking away for split second, her little brother is walking onto the street. Not being able to catch him, he gets hit by a car. However, he is fine, not a scratch. Thinking he was okay fern doesn’t tell his parents. Until the next morning, he doesn’t wake up. He suffered brain injuries that if doctors saw sooner, he could have lived. Fern struggles with feeling guilty for multiple aspects of his passing. Fern’s family gets closer than ever and slowly becomes stronger as a family. It is very well written and engaging. Reading it was like watching a movie. This book is heartwarming and heartbreaking I love it though and would 100 % recommend reading it.
