I would give this book a rating of 5 stars because this book is really sad and emotional, but is also happy and bright. I really love the book.
I recommend this book for any age. It's easy to read and also interesting. My mum read it and she liked it.
Hi Hannah,
ReplyDeleteThank you for insisting I read this book. It was one of the best books I have read in a while. I recommend it as a read-aloud for schools, too.
Mum.
