ok best picture ever

As Madrugada pointed out:

"Death By Newbery Medal is accumulating examples that are just "someone dies". I've cleared out all I could identify, but I don't know enough about the video games, in particular, to identify bad examples. As I read the trope, the criteria for Death By Newbery Medal are

• slice of life
• coming of age
• friend, best friend, animal or family member dies
• to boost the main character toward adulthood.

/Maddy quote.

I'm going to go through the examples and weed out those that don't fit. If you feel I made an error in a removel please indicate why you think so here or in the Trope Repair Shop Discussion before putting it back. Thank you for your cooperation.

I forget, did anyone die in the book version of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH? It's been awhile since I've read it.
