Bird Lake Moon by Kevin Henkes

I rejected another book by Kevin Henkes a few years ago, but decided to give his another try.  This book is great for middle school boys as it deals with two boys, honesty, grief, and friendship.  The chapters alternate between Mitch and Spencer, two young boys both dealing with their own grief.  One of the boys younger brother drown in Bird Lake and the other boy's parents are getting divorced.  They both end up on the shore of Bird Lake where their adventures begin.
