Wow. Such a unique and powerful book. I'm not the biggest fan of verse but the writing in this immediately caught my attention and I couldn't put it down. The way this book ends is so meaningful and important and I absolutely loved it.
Listened to it in one day because it's short and traffic was bad coming home. Outstanding. Unsurprising that it got so much award love. Just an incredible read.
Might be the best JR yet. Stunning and very powerful. Finally got these copies in our latest library order, can't wait to booktalk and get this into the hands of kids to see their reactions!
Can I give this book 6 or 7 stars?
This is a heart wrenching story that is foreign to many of us. However it is a story about which we all need to know. I want to hand this to everyone I see. We all need to read this and think about these powerful words. When we stop and think about these things, maybe we have more compassion and we realize that we are not as different from each other as we think we are.
Amazing of course. Lyrical, heartbreaking, and with an ending I'm going to be thinking about for a while. Lots of interpretations....what does Will do?
