Great read

This book is great, it really puts in perspective of how life could be for some people and how life is different for others. I read it when I was 8 or 9 and I read all of her series and I re-read them many times. Now as an adult, I take care of kids and they love her as an author as much as I do..
Kit Pearson is a Canadian author, and she isn't recognized as much in the states, but she deserves it!

Wonderful

Though I do love reading, I haven't read a substantial amount of books. However, even though I first read this in Grade 6 (I'm 21 now), this has remained in my memory as probably the most beautiful book I've ever read. I re-read it I think in Grade 8, and fell in love with it again.
Even though it was written for Grades 4-7, it's a pretty mature book, not in the language sense, but what Theo goes through in the book. I highly recommend this book.
