This was rather a quiet and thoughtful book, and surprisingly evocative, for children's literature. I like that it gives you space to think about the characters and put yourself in their shoes to flesh out their experience, rather than to tell you exactly how they are feeling at every moment.

Fucking hated this book back in 2nd grade. So boring. Lived up to it’s name.
I read this story in elementary school and probably several other times, but I just reread it for our upcoming book club and loved it even more than I remember. The language is plain and simple and I appreciate Sarah's bravery and the father's dedication to his children.
