I so wish I had read this book a child. Having seen the movie, I can appreciate the adaptation, but it was a bit misleading. I went into reading the book thinking the "magic" would be real, but in a way, I'm glad it wasn't. The story was equally wholesome and heartbreaking, and I'm still recovering from it.

Well that was really sad, but great. It's not really well written or exciting, but the characters are powerful and so are the little observations about them. Leslie is a wonderful character and their friendship is great. I don't know what it is about this story that makes it so special, but there is definitely something very special about it indeed. It made me cry, and I don't usually do that, especially for a book.
