I am both happy and disappointed in this book. Really, it could have, and is, a very good book. My main complaint is the language sprinkled throughout. I was surprised, and thought it was a pointless venture to take with a children's book.

As to the story, it was a really sweet, sad story that leaves you thinking in the end.

I think I will white-out the bad words and call it good, because, besides that, I really liked this book.
