    <body><![CDATA[Do you want a book that you can finish in 1 or 2 days that grabs your heart right from the beginning?  I felt instantly on Hollis' side from the first few paragraphs and had to know what happened next.  It made me wonder how many Hollis' are out there:  talented, good, loving and caring kids that ha...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51730639">more...</a>]]></body>

Clearly, someone is going to die.&quot;<br/><br/>So I was pleasantly surprised when no one died and I would recommend it on that merit alone.  It is beautifully written too, if you'r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75220628">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Newbery Honor book I would pick up all the time and finally read. It's kind of like <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/242858.The_Great_Gilly_Hopkins" title="The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson">The Great Gilly Hopkins</a>, only less mature, and a bit like <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2220210.Dear_Shrink" title="Dear Shrink by Helen Cresswell">Dear Shrink</a>.
