We had a "loss and coming of age" reading theme previously, and I have a feeling that this one would have fit right in quite nicely. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the book. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-22408098552316019412014-03-17T19:46:19.159-04:002014-03-17T19:46:19.159-04:00I own this book and just moved it over to my must ...I own this book and just moved it over to my must read and soon pile - I think I read about this first on another blog and now hearing how much you enjoyed it, I really have to begin this title.

Our library has it and I will be going up tonight to get it!

It's not a book for every child, but those from my class who have read it have taken away so much from the experience.

What a tough subject to address. I read the further reviews on Goodreads & will look for it.

Usually it's a high casualty rate among parents. I don't know that students want to read about death quite as much as authors seem to like to write about it!Ms. Yinglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805324364289597178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-76030529236198733312014-03-17T06:29:10.747-04:002014-03-17T06:29:10.747-04:00Sorry, Cindy, I should have said.
