"I read this book to all of my undergraduate education students. It captures the inner feelings of a struggling reader who is bullied but ultimately succeeds in a spectacular way! Do not skip the epilogue.... it will move you to tears!"

"The imagery in this book stuck with me so much since I was little that I went hunting to find the title last week. I literally cried when I (with a lot of searching) found the book and looked through google images. If I don’t find it in my local book store, I’ll be ordering it soon. I recommend this book for kids, adults, teachers. Everyone. This book will stay with you. "
