4 of 5 stars
bookshelves: children
Recommended to Kim by: Marley
Read in February, 2008

I read this as a book club book with my 9 year old. Man, this is deep... I'm surprised that they let 3rd graders read this stuff... I was almost in tears.. maybe I think that 9 yr olds aren't as tough as they are. It is a sweet book that gets across the point that painfully paints growing up as 'different'. I wouldn't recommend it for kids under 9, but what do I know?

Valerie Nope. Should I add it to my list? It's pre-YA, right?
