How did I manage to not read this book for so long? It was in the shelf when I was a child and I assumed I had read it and didn’t care for it. But I had NOT, and I LOVE IT.

I'm doing a summer reading challenge and for this prompt it was 'Read a book you loved as a child'. I still love this book .. but Colin is still irritating.

Delightful. I read this in late elementary school and re-read it now as an adult—so glad I did!

Pensaba que era algo muy distinto.
Luego al comenzarlo creí que sería muy plano y fome.
Finalmente, terminó siendo algo muy genial.

Me gusto mucho la temática. Mary y Colin en su evolución, aunque algo distinta una de otra, me llegaron al almita.
Sus historias... no solo la de ellos sino la de todos los otros personajes se sintieron tan reales que podía ponerme en el lugar de cada uno de ellos.
