Full Review at www.loganashleyleduc.com

I read this book as required summer reading while going from 5th grade into 6th grade. That was 12 years ago, and I had absolutely no memory of what this book was about until I decided I ought to reread it.

I almost want to say this isn't a children's book. Reading it feels like an adult talking about the life of a child, which is true. But it also allows a young reader to really be able to insert themselves into the story and be the one the author is talking about.

I loved this. I loved this to the moon and back. There was such a good message that I missed when I was 10-years-old, and this was so beautifully written. I'm so glad I decided to spend the time to reread it (and it was a quick read being at a lower reading level!). I'll definitely be adding this to my favorites list.
