When I finished this book, I was so angry.  I felt like the only purpose of the book was to emotionally manipulate me. It's a middle grade book filled with a lot of death and sadness.  But with some time away from the book, I can appreciate that it is trying to be a meditation on death and reincarnation told through a middle grade lens.  That being said, I would only recommend this book if you are looked to cry.

Just super sad. I would have been broken if I read this as a child.
