It is, indeed, an absolutely wonderful story about loneliness and loss and love, about friends and hope and belief, about not judging and helping and being real.
Book2Dragon on Goodreads This book captured childhood so beautifully. Loved all the characters and the sweet message of friendship. I have read several of Kate DiCamillo's books and have loved every single one; but I'd have to say this one is my favorite!
Brooke on Goodreads Beautifully written, delightful characters, a bittersweet story. No wonder it won awards.
