Read this for the first time 10 years too late and I’m obsessed! I love the story, the characters, the message, the symbolism. It was great. Unfortunately, I’m starting it at an older age and some of the writing seems to be missing something for me but that could just me the limited perspective narrative and the middle grade writing focus which is the point. I love how impactful this story is in so many ways.
