This book was just so good.

I picked up this book knowing that Hayao Miyazaki is making his final studio Ghibli movie based on this book. And - let me tell you - it's going to be sooooo good! He is really going to make the imagery come alive, and I'm so excited to see what he comes up with. 

The characters in this book are just innocent children beginning to enter into the world of adults. It's just such an inspiring book with so many tidbits of wisdom, and I can't wait to buy the book myself and mark it all up.
