Shelves: library, favorites, ya

Incredible. This was just such a great book. It is a book about courage, bravery change. I think everyone should read this book, it is only 220 pages and it is a really quick read, so I suggest just picking it up and reading it yourself. I am a little worried about the rest if the series because I am afraid it will not live up to this one... We will see. (waiting on the library lol)
