Blue Eyes Better is about a girl(tessa) whos brothe(scott) died in a drunk driving accident. Her mom gets so mad, ext. She doesn't even noticce Tessa needs her. Her mother leaves for a long time to live with her sister Rhoda for about 4 months. In the end every thing gets better and Tessa and her mother build a strong relationship! Read this book to find out all of Tessa's deep, dark secrets!!

This book Blue Eyes Better by Ruth Wallace-Brodeur was an excellent book that I enjoyed very much. This book taught me a lot about other people who has lost someone that was real close to them. It also shows how to help someone else that is struggling through a love one. It talks about how they might need some extra time than yourself to get over someone that was real close to them. This books shows you how the family almost gets pulled apart due to the mother of having a real tough time getting over her son(Scott) who died from a recent car accident. The daughter(Tessa) had a little of a rough time and blamed it on herself but not in front of her parents, she wanted to show them that she was tough. Her dad took it hard to,but he went on with his life and he knew he has another child to deal with and help Tessa out too. Tessa's mother had to leave for awhile to spend sometime away from the house to not be around Scott's room and the area's that Scott was in. Tessa did not know why her mother had to leave though, she thought it was because of her, and she did not know if her mom would come back. Sometime's Tessa looked into her mothers eyes and wonder what she was staring at. She never knew. Tessa bacame real close to a lady named Mrs. Goldberg. Mrs. Goldberg helped out Tessa a lot and talked to her why her mother was acting this way, and that she needed time and space, and she will return home when the time is ready, so give her time and let her know that you are there for her whenever she needs you. When the time came she went home and did her normal things that she did when Scott was living. This whole time Tessa knew that Scott was going with his friend Kevin that night, but never told her parents about it, until her mother came back home and asked what was on her mind and all. Tessa's mom was there for her and supported her like a mother should. So I like this book a lot because it shows you so how much each person loves one another and is there for one another through thick and thin. This would be great for children who has a close one that died, and then they would know what to expect about others who are having a harder time than you. I think the author wrote this book to help out people, and how to get through things that are troubling them and not to let them all bottle up inside you.
