This is the first book that ever made me cry. I read it for a book project in 5th grade and I sobbed. Can you tell all the sad books I read are about best friends dying? I loved everything about this book.

Sweet tale about friendship. 10 year old Clover and Danny are best friends. When Danny gets a mysterious illness that his doctors can't figure out, Clover's love of science and Danny convinces her that she can help him heal. Would recommend to 9, 10, 11 year old readers who enjoy sweet and sad stories, set in a realistic setting.

It’s been a long time since a book has made me cry like a baby. This was an incredible read!

Ooh this book has lots of feels and will definitely find an eager middle-grade audience (there's a huge chunk of them that love sad stories). Didn't hit me quite as hard as expected, maybe because the ending felt like a bit of a foregone conclusion. I also didn't love the moments where Danny spouted philosophical - it felt a little trope-y for me. But Clover's feelings definitely come right off the page.

I HAVE LOTS OF FEELINGS RIGHT NOW. But to try and sum this up for a neat little mini-review with my thoughts, I really liked THE SOMEDAY SUITCASE. I fell in love with Clover, with Danny, with their families. I enjoyed the progression of the story, even though it's a little bit of a slow starter. And it made me very emotional by the end, so.... yeah, read this one. It's so good, y'all.

Haydu has written great books, but I'm just not feeling this one. I'm not invested in Danny and Cover, which means that I'm really bored. This one just isn't for me. Her other middle grade is fabulous though.
