Remembering Raquel

Ever wonder how will you be remembered by your friends and colleagues? Will they remember how much fun you were at parties, or how smart you were? Have you made enough of an impression to even be remembered? Remembering Raquel by Vivian Vande Velde explores these questions and more. Raquel was not a popular girl. She had very few close friends and did not stick out in school by being the smartest, funniest, or dumbest in class. When she dies in a freak accident, her family, friends and classmates give you their impression of how she was viewed by them. She would be surprised at the things some of them said. I bet we all would be surprised by what people say about us.
