I'd never read this book before, but had heard great things about it and have seen the movie. I think this is a great classic that didn't feel dated or childish at all. The language is obviously not overly complex since it's middle grade, but the plot doesn't feel boring or too "kiddish." I think this is a great book that someone of any age or background can enjoy. Definitely made me want to rewatch the movie, so I'll probably do that soon! Originally read this as a "palette cleanser" of sorts between long series, but I'm glad I picked it up. :)
