I'm returning to this book as it was assigned to me in grade school. A good book, honestly kinda bummed about all the bad reviews, given how it is a book often assigned to kids in school. But while it didn't have quite the compelling plot or climax, the book created an emotional connection with the main character, and had a very emotionally fulfilling ending. It's a book meant for youth, but as a young adult I was able to read it in a few hours.
