This is definitely not a book for me...kind of confirming my dislike of Newbery Award winners to be honest. I guess that if you liked Edward Tulane, maybe this book would work for you as well, but I kind of found it confusing at first, then pretentious at the end, and I'm not really sure about the kid appeal of this book. I did read it on recommendation from a students, so I guess some have enjoyed it. There was a really strong narrative voice which probably is the strongest part of the book in my mind, even if it grated on me at times.
