This book is written from the perspective of a nine year old and in first person. It seems accurate a lot of the time, to what nine year olds think and is very touching.

It's so well done and I did not really enjoy reading it until the last 100 pages. I feel like this book is a masterpiece but it's not fun or linear or easy to follow at least at first.
