Read this book for the first time at 9 years old and immediately fell in love with it. I'm now 22 and anytime someone asks my favorite book I still wholeheartedly say this one. Great read for children(though some stuff may be hard to understand) and still a great read for adults, rereading it as an adult was truly an experience that pain you feel for Bod, the care his 'parents' give him throughout the story. All so amazing.
