Needed to read before the movie was released. Adjusting to the narrator, the beginning was a little confusing, strange, and slow. Midway through I couldn't put it down. Great character development. The story of times when children have to beyond their years.

Quote page 526: “Her hand was sore by page three. Words are so heavy, she thought, but as the night wore on, she was able to complete eleven pages.”
