Jamie's best friend tells the story of their friendship and his disbelief after Jamie dies from a bee sting. As nobody knew Jamie was allergic to bees the death is very shocking. Jamie's friend goes through a period of disbelief but, as everybody prepares for the funeral, reality sinks in. One of the elderly neighbours, Mrs Mullins, helps him cope by honestly answering his questions, even if the answers are "I don't know." An honest account of grief, including the fact that children cannot cope with the emotions of grief for extended periods of time.
