My daughter gives this 4.5 stars, and my son gives 4.75 stars. I'll give this 5 stars, simply because I never want to forget the way that both of my kids hugged me, wiped away my tears, and kissed my cheeks while I struggled to read the hardest chapters. And the connection of that family love to the story itself.
The only stars lost by my kids were because of the sadness. It had an incredible message of the importance of not bottling up our feelings, not making ourselves choose between strength and sensitivity. All the while, this book is about loss and grief, with a touch of magical spirituality that ties in flawlessly.
