My thoughts: This was my favorite book as a child and first time I’ve read it in 30 years. And it’s still as wonderful as it was when I read it as a child. Writing is lyrical, the characters are multifaceted which is incredible for characters who are children. The writer makes the kids relatable and the brother-sister relationship genuine. The kids sound and act like kids without being annoying. I love this book.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
