I remember reading this book as a kid and it was good then, but there is so much more depth to it than I remember. The pieces of the story fit together so perfectly, and in a way that evokes wonder--not like the author's trying to be clever, but just beautifully, mysteriously destiny-like. And of course, just being a fascinating story to begin with. There are echoes of things I'm sure smarter people than me will be able to analyze, but it's a fun read no matter how much you pick up on!

I have finally read this book!

I first watched the movie which was absolutely charming! It still is one of my all time favorites.
I found out later it was adapted from a book and I could not believe myself. It took me about five-six years before I got around to actually reading the book and I am so glad that I did.

The characters, setting, story...everything about the book pulls you in.

A must read for all middle school students!
