I am looking for a 4-5 grade level book about death of a friend?

It is a specific book. The kids were best friends and neighbors. They loved to go berry picking. They got attacked by bees and one friend died. It is not My Girl, it was way before that movie. I read it in like 5th grade, so in 1982. Please if you know the book I am talking about let me know, I want my kids to read it.

  1. This sounds like the book “A Taste of Blackberries” by Doris Buchanan Smith. Here’s a link with a little more info on the book, including two different versions of the cover of the book(the original was published in 1982 and a revised edition was published in 2004) and a short plot synopsis: http://www.harperacademic.com/catalog/book_xml.asp?isbn=0690805128

    The book is available at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Taste-Blackberries-Doris-Buchanan-Smith/dp/0590324373
