It's one of those books that has stayed with me for a very long time. Nao had such a refreshing voice, and while there were definitely parts of the book that were disturbing and sad, I found that the entire book was rather hopeful than dour and depressing. If anyone else had the same concern about being too young to read it, I would definitely recommend reading this book :) (less)
