It's not often that my twelve-year-old insists that I read one of his books. It's far more common that he just reads a book over and over and eventually I become curious and borrow it for a bit.

I did not actually read, I listened to the audiobook with my 6 year old son. I LOVED it, the reading was brilliant, we both loved it so much and probably will listen to it again. A beautiful book to listen to with a sensitive kid, and have discussions about what kind of person you want to be in this world.

Richly-layered characters, a story that will crack the toughest of exteriors, and laughs and tears (holy balls, the tears -- Minne was giving me extra kitty cuddles and antics because of the excessive heaving, choking sobs). For anyone who has ever survived the fifth grade!

I listened to the audiobook. I really enjoyed how they used different voices for the different character sections. I hope the movie is at least half as good as the book. I just want to give August a big old hug. Highly recommend this one to people of all ages.
