One of my favourite books! Explores themes of growth and coming of age, family, and friendship. In my opinion, this is a great one for kids and adults. This book is structured like an anthology, each chapter a smaller story, but accumulates to a final chapter that ties it all together. This makes it very easy to enjoy then pause, then pick it up later without feeling disoriented. Filled with charming characters and fun adventures. Reading this as an adult made me remember so many things from my own childhood and filled up my chest with a build up of happy and sad feelings. I absolutely adore this book!
