It was a cute read and I loved the writing and the character personalities, But I didn’t like the implausible and infuriating ending, the Asian stereotype, dell could have been redeemed more in the book, and sometimes I loved how smart Willow is but other times it left unsure about her character because she acts like a robot.Overall I recommend reading it.

First read this book as a young kid when it first came out, and reading it all these years later it still was an enjoyable read. Characters you fall in love with and a story that makes you appreciate the people around you and life in general. Who would have guessed that a children’s book would be the right thing I needed to get me out of my current bout of depression? In regards to children’s literature I’d say it’s one of the best I’ve read. Highly recommend.
