"My niece was reading this one day and skipped lunch because she wanted to finish it! She said I need to read it and promptly gave it to me. It was an interesting plot and I wondered a lot to myself as I read through the story. I really appreciated how the story emphasized the importance of healthy ways to deal with loss and grieving in a way that younger people can relate to. I would consider getting this book for my bookshelf to share with young people in the future."
