"Sharon Creech has done it again with her fantastic writing! She chooses to write things clearly original and does what not a lot of writers do: she wrote it well. She writes and she doesn't just make you feel like you're in the book, she makes you feel something...something words can't explain. She doesn't just make you feel bad when something bad happens, she makes you feel...like I said, words can't explain it. You feel real emotion. This book just puts you in somebody else's shoes that no one has really bothered to wear. I strongly recommend this book for anybody searching for the book you'll be talking about for years (I mean that in a good way)."

    " Such a cute, short book about the friendship and relationship between a 12 year old boy and girl. the girl's Granny Torrelli helps them through their struggles as they grow up as life long pals! Granny is a spunky, kind character that helps these two kids with her love and Italian cooking! A cute book every boy/girl friendship should read! "
