Mick Harte is the protagonist's brother, who died from a bike accident. Phoebe was the sister of Mick Harte, which is the protagonist. Phoebe and Mick got into fights all the time. They fought over a tattoo of pirates from a cereal box one day. Mick made up a story because Phoebe and Mick wrote F-A-R-T in a wet cemented driveway. Mick said a monkey wrote it and he already chased it back to Africa.
Then a terrible thing happened when Phoebe was at soccer practice. She was running and she heard sirens coming her way. She doesn't like sirens at all, they mean bad things happened. Instead she stops running and looks up at the ambulance. The ambulance pulls into the school road and Mick's bike was on the ground and Phoebe realized that Mick probably got hurt. She was hoping it was one of Mick's friends. Then later she found out it was Mick and he died from a head injury. If you like Funny but sad books, here is a great book for those emotions.

Mick Harte Was Here was a good book. It was very interesting book and very sad book. It makes people think twice about wearing a helmet. It also relates to somebody who has had a recent lost in their family. It had good tragedy and down falls in this book.

I would not recommend this book to anybody. It was a very sad book; it might make younger kids feel bad. It might make people feel upset about their losses. It might not be suitable for some people. That is why I don't recommend this book.

Mick Harte Was Here was kind of boring, but it had a few exciting parts in it. For example, when Phoebe and Mick wrote the word FART in the driveway, that was pretty funny. However, some people might find it kind of sad because Mick Harte was one of the main characters in the story, and he dies a horrible death. He dies because he was supposed to go to one of his friend's house, and he had a terrible accident.
Mick asks Phoebe to ride his bike home for him, but she said, "No." Then Mick asked Phoebe's friend Zoe if she would do the favor, but she said, "No." Thus, Mick had no choice but to ride his bike to his friend's house. When Mick started riding his bike, he went head on into a truck which gave him really bad head damage.
I myself wouldn't recommend this book to anyone because this book isn't too exiting. Unless you like the sad and actually kind of boring books, I wouldn't read this novel.

The story Mick Harte Was Here is about a 12- year- old boy named Mick Harte. He was riding home when boom! He falls off his bike and hits his head on a truck. Well, when his death occurs, everything turns around. Mick's mom and dad are depressed as is his sistert, Phoebe. They all are moping around and being lazy, and Phoebe's about to go crazy with people asking about Mick. Finally towards the end of the book, Nana comes from Florida and has the family eat together. The book's title comes from Phoebe who wrote in the cement Mick Harte Was Here. I recommend that people should read this book because it is really interesting. That's what Mick Harte Was Here is all about.

Little Phoebe Harte is devastated about her younger brother's death, Mick Harte. She tries to get over it, but inside of her, she still thinks it's her fault.

In the book, Phoebe's best friend is this girl named Zoe. Phoebe shares her pain about Mick's death with her. During the book, Phoebe talks about her life when her brother Mick was alive. When Mick died, everyone was sad : Mick's parents, Zoe, and Phoebe. However, Phoebe didn't like feeling sad; she also didn't like people feeling sorry for her.

Around the end of the book, Phoebe starts to express her feelings and kind of starts to get use to the fact that Mick is dead, and it is no one's fault that Mick is dead. It truly was an accident.

The reason I really liked this book is because it is a very dramatic book that I think anyone would enjoy reading. It makes me think about life in a way I never thought of before. That's why I approve of this book.
