Listened to this on audiobook today while painting and I loved it!
Goes straight on my favorites list.
It's such a gentle sweet story and Glenn Close, who plays Sarah in the movies, read it very well.
Caleb is my favorite character because he's so cute and loves Sarah soo much.
Sarah is really lovely too, how cute to name her grey cat Seal!

Yowza, that was short.

(I read it on my electronic device, so wasn't prepared for it. My reader kept telling me things like I was on page 52 of 59, and I assumed that 59 represented 'Part 1' perhaps, but no.) It then included her speech upon recieving the Newberry, which she joked shouldn't be longer than the book itself, and it wasn't ... but it was close.

So it wasn't the deep, rich experience that a fully tricked-out novel can be, but what I read I liked. It's a bit of an appetizer--I've ordered the next book to see how far that goes. Can't give it more than a high 3, but perhaps taken as a whole the entire series will pay off for me.

(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s).
