Well. When I read this book I didn't really see the point of it but after really thinking about it I can see the point. What that point is? I couldn't really articulate it to you in words. Maybe in expressions and noises of grief. But this story, I believe, just explores a child's (because that's what he is) psyche while in grief as he battles dark emotions. It's like... hm. Yeah. I want to hug this kid. Bad.

And had he not had in younger sister, I think he would've killed himself.

Also. South Park.
