This was cute. I put it down several times in favor of other books, but I'm still glad I read it. I think if I had been closer to the narrator's age it would have been much more profound to me. I can't fault the book because I'm older than its target audience, though. It was a fun story with multiple plot threads and wonderful questions at its core.

Definitely read the author's note at the end. It puts a great personal perspective with this story.
