      I adored this book. It was at times heartbreaking and other times harrowing and it kept me wanting to read the next page (You know the type - just one more chapter and then sleep!...Yeah. It was that kind of book). I laughed, I cried, wonderfully written. Epic. 5 out of 5 stars. Awesome for kids!
