If you are an adult reading this you will most likely be reminded of your childhood perceptions of the world. In this novel you will discover that it is more than just about friendship but what a home is, how perceptions of people may be very different than what you think they are, cruelty in children, and loss/death of a parent. It is not a "heavy" book to read. While at times it is serious there is a lightness to the book. It is a book that ends with love, friendship and dreams for the future. It is a book that that can be read by anyone and made richer in doing so.Disclaimer: I received an arc of this book free from the author/publisher from Netgalley.
