This book was given to me as a gift from a great aunt when I was 7. I never read it all the way through. This time I did and it reminded just how important it is to have some friends with similar beliefs to help keep you accountable and comfort you according to both of your beliefs.

I loved this book. It was given to me by a friend and it is just what you need when you need a lift up. It helps you to see that no matter what is going on that is bad in your life, someone else is probably having a harder time with something.

Definitely 5 stars and I recommend it to everyone!

Excellent book to share with a friend. Stories will have you laughing, crying, or feeling sorrowful. It's a great reminder to the reader of just how valuable real friends are.
