Add a CommentI liked the book and how the characters seem to jump to life
this is a great book take it from me i love it
very clever written book with
a lot of meaning put into few words
I really liked this book and the verse style in which it was written.
Another great piece of juvenile fiction from Sharon Creech. She uses free verse to great effect, not just as a gimmick, with living, breathing imagery and a real sensitivity to the mind of a twelve-year-old and the difficulties she faces growing up.
This was an AWESOME book! I was kind of surprised that it didnt make me cry though, because most of Sharon Creech's books do. But it was still a good read!
