Claudia and the sad good-bye by Ann M. Martin

Claudia and the sad good-bye (The Baby-Sitters' Club #26) by Ann M. Martin. Scholastic, 1989.

One of the very popular Baby-Sitters' Club series, this book tells of Claudia's relationship with Mimi, her grandmother, and her grief following Mimi's death. Although the literary style is as expected from this children's series the popularity of the series makes this book accessible. The emotions and experiences of Claudia, her family and friends are believable, and follow the precepts of a grief manual. Although this may make this book seem unworthy it is a good guide to the grief process and accessible to younger children, especially fans of the series.
