Well, I feel all warm and happy inside as I have just finished this book.  It’s fantastic!  I almost read it a couple of years ago with my daughter.  My daughter was not ready for me to read this book to her, so we stopped.  I picked it up again tonight and read it all the way through.  I just love it!  I have a couple of favorite lines:”Miri wondered if worry could actually kill a person.”and”Esa’s smile seemed big enough to break loose.”Aren’t those lines just perfectly descriptive and short at the same time.  I can’t handle sentences that go on and on about the weather or beauty of something - get to it!!  These lines described the situation perfectly and succinctly.  Wonderful.  So, what are you waiting for?  Go to the library!
