3.0

As with Lowry's other works, this book examines the thoughts and thought processes of the main character with simple poignancy. The main character, Natalie, was a typical "Mary Sue", but the eccentricities of her family more than made up for her vague personality. The plot is oversimplified, as is the writing style, but it is clear that the message was more important to the author than the execution. All things considered, I think this book accomplished everything it was supposed to, and it managed to be a pleasant, uncomplicated story while doing so.
