I read this book as a kid and reading it now is so different. As an adult you understand more and the children characters show kid readers how cruel the world can be. 

Love this story.

When I was in high school, Sharon Draper was my favorite author. I’m revisiting this book since I saw she published a sequel to it last year. 

This book has a lot of heart, and I enjoyed Melody’s internal monologue. I didn’t enjoy the casual fatphobia, and I hope it’s not present in the sequel.
