This is not a very well-written book. It isn't an adult book so it's actually pretty good for pre-teens or kids, BUT it's a very sad story that even the most mature adult would be moved to tears.

I think this has to be one of my favorite mcdaniel books. If you haven't read it, or you are looking for a book to start off on, I think this is a great pick.
