  3. Wow!!! Excellent writing, strong, believable and likable characters, wonderful plot - this book has it all. I think this book should win some kind of an award and is a good contender for the Newbery. Its theme of forgiveness really makes you think about life. I loved this book and will recommend it to everyone!
