Beautiful and poignant, this book about the power of family, both blood and found, will make you laugh and cry and cheer. I highly recommend it!
What a BEAUTIFUL story! I dog-eared so many pages with lines of text that touched my heart.....like, "Sometimes trusting someone is about the scariest thing you can do. But you know what? It's a lot less scary than being all alone." I fell in love with all of the characters and cried in so many different places.
"Maybe we're all a little broken. Maybe we're all a little fragile. Maybe that's why we need each other so much." ❤

I listened to this one for my book club. I really enjoyed it!! The storyline is good and I love how all of the characters change in some way throughout- and how they all add so much depth to the story. Would recommend if you’re looking for a sweet story with a lot of family morals!!
I read this book when I was 11 years old and it was my favorite book for so many years. I found out there was a sequel last week and decided that I needed to reread it finally. Well I’m so glad I did because the nostalgia I felt was unmatched. I cried and I laughed and I loved every second. For being a kids book it sure is deep. Can’t wait to read the second one
This novel broke my heart while reinstilling my belief in humanity. It shows the best of people. Even if it seems that people won't do the right thing... you should trust that they might.
It is also about strength. Finding it in yourself. Finding it in others.
It is about love. Love for others. Love for family. Love for yourself.

I loved this book! It's whimsical and wacky but also gritty and real and raw. The characters are all loveable. I laughed; I cried (literally!). It may be geared toward young readers, but the themes can resonate with readers of all ages. Grief, loss, coming of age, friendships, found family, understanding yourself, adventure, heartache, free spirited fun, running from tragedy, and embracing the truth... it is a beautiful story. Highly recommend!
