About this listen

How can you love someone and resent him at the same time?

Jake Moon used to love the time he spent with his grandfather Skelly, but that was before Skelly got Alzheimer's disease. All of a sudden, it's as if Skelly is the kid and Jake has to be the grown-up. Much of Skelly's care becomes Jake's responsibility, and that doesn't leave much time for a life of his own.

Then one day, Jake rebels, and the unthinkable happens. Has Jake discovered too late how much his grandfather still means to him?

Empathy

This book is such a great choice for teaching students and kids about empathy. I really enjoyed this and the raw feelings that Jake feels towards his grandfather and his Alzheimer’s. The struggle and sacrifice they all make for him like he did for Jake and his mom. It is such a moving story.
