The bad it’s came so far in the book but Shannon did a great job at explaining what was going on in the few chapters that it had happed in. I am very excited to read the next ok because this book left me on such a cliff. Maybe it was even mount Eskles cliff

I just finished re-reading this book. It is so wonderful and so well written. I love how the characters and their world and their problems become real to me as I read. I like how it's almost like a fairy tale, but not quite.

This was one of my all time favorite book as a child and even now I still love this book! I'm ecstatic that there will be a second book and cannot wait for the release!

I listened to this on audio, and it had different actors for the different characters, which was really fun. The story itself I thought was just okay.

This Newbery Honor book is for young adults, and deals with courage and being true to yourself. I think my 13-year-old niece would really like it.

Reading this again after over 10 years, I'm surprised about how much I remembered. There were certain scenes, like the one with the rat, that once it got going, I remember vividly reading for the first time. I also thought that the character growth for Miri was great and she is a great example that just because someone is young, doesn't mean that they don't understand certain things. Overall I think this is a classic and has an award for a reason.
