For ages 12+. The result of a cross-Canada contest for the best short stories about young people's experience of loss and grief, 'Dark Times' is a superb anthology about a topic that often remains hidden but is crucial in the development of a child's sense of identity. The stories explore highly contemporary situations: a First Nations boy mourns the death of his mother, a girl copes with the loss of her grandmother to Alzheimer's disease, a boyfriend's death takes a girl through the five stages of grief, a destitute family loses their home, a daughter loses a parent when her mother leaves, a foetal alcohol syndrome child is lost to his family when he is sent to prison, a boy loses the brother he loves to mental illness, the death of a small child challenges a girl's belief in God, and a young girl discovers her father in an affair and confronts him -- with devastating results.
