Jane in Bloom by Deborah Lytton

When Jane’s sister dies from complications resulting from anorexia, it sends Jane’s family into a tailspin. Her parents separate and Jane must find the strength to endure her grief. She does this with the help of an unusual babysitter, a puppy, a camera, and a new friend. This is a powerful look at the effects of anorexia on a family and the characters are authentic. The ending is somewhat disappointing, but readers will be drawn into Jane’s story as she tries to find peace in a difficult situation.
