Yes this was great and it's getting all started reviews, etc. now if you'll allow me to be grumpy for a minute : everyone is always looking for the next Wonder and I find it to be kind of an annoying problem. This book has a great kid at its center who is narrating everything that happens in his life. The issue to me, is that so much of what happens in this story is happening to the adults. And adult readers are the ones who will "get" that (large) part of the story. To kids, it will be still be a depiction of boring adult problems that they are familiar with but not completely concerned or interested in. This is a classic adult books masquerading as a kid's book issue. Which is a thing. A thing that frustrates me, obviously.
