Re-read this book as a read aloud to my 5th grade class. My students really enjoyed it and many have seen the movie and had a fun time comparing and contrasting. We'll be watching the movie again anyway!
My one qualm, the beginning of the book has a lot of flash back and flash forward moments which can make it easy for a listener to loose track of information. I had to do a lot of clarifying for my kids in those parts and I feared I had lost their attention. But we got it back and had a great time!
