I read this years ago on a high-school-issued Chrome book, but I felt the urge to reread it and honestly, it still holds up. Definitely heartbreaking, and so interesting to see the different ways in which our choices affect the people around us, even if we don't know it. The chapter on what happening in Vietnam is haunting.

Cute, and sad. Loved the story about the blue man the best, and how there is two sides to the story. Overall this book was incredible and I am very glad to have read it

My daughter was reading this book, one night I picked it up and read the first page, I couldn't put it down.

A thought provoking book on how our lives affect others.

This was a good read. I liked it quite a bit. Even though it was a short book, I took about a week to read it. I found the lessons great to learn. I hope others read this book.

This was an amazing book that proves we really do make an impact on people's lives. We typically have no idea that things we do often shape other people's lives. It's not always good, so it's important to choose our words carefully and think before we speak and act.
