    This is a really good book. It is a little to young adultish to be a Newbery winner. Hopefully it will be a Prince winner. Loved it and I totally recomed it

    I loved this book. Sad, but really real,it puts life in perspective really well- too old parts have to do with gangs, girls and other issues. I made me feel really grateful for my life :).
