Virtually anything with a Newberry Medal is highly likely to have a traumatizing beloved character death somewhere in it. Maniac Magee and Bridge to Terabithia were good examples from my childhood.

I guess bridge to terebinthia I read late enough that it wasn't traumatizing, and the beautiful image of a room that lights up gold in the sunset stuck with me until today.

Otoh we got an audiobook with a picture of two kids smiling riding bicycles for the car ride on a trip to the beach one year, and like 30 minutes in, one of the kids died and that was awful.
