I can't believe it took me until my 30s to appreciate middle grade stories. I picked this up after a positive review from the same 5th grade teacher who led me to Creech. It was an incredibly quick read, all in one morning, during which it plucked and tugged on all my heart strings. I still wish the ending had been different, although it was the only one it could be.
