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.

This book lends itself to great conversations about unlikely friendships and dealing with difficult emotions. I love this book. A tear-jerker for sure!
