So Sad and Yet ExilleratingCommenter: Aj, grade 9
This book was just phenomenal. I loved it from beginning to end. It might take a true desire to read through it, but I believe it to be worth it. I read this in either 7th or 8th grade and it was tremendously worth it. So well written, and with every detail making you turn to the next page- you'll never want it to end!!
