After Grandad Bill dies, everyone in the family remembers him differently. But reminiscences do nothing to help a young boy cope with his loss, until he recalls his own feelings on the day his grandad died and his memories of a best friend who was much beloved indeed. An unusually sensitive and carefully wrought evocation of the impact of a death on a loving family. -- "Kirkus Reviews," pointer review What gives the story its power is how each person remembers Grandad Bill at a different stage of life: boy, young sailor, strong father, chess champion
