This book really resonated with my students. Highly recommended (especially if you have a reluctant reader).

I got about half-way through this book, and had already decided it was fine, was planning on giving it a 3-star. Took me a week or so before I picked it up again, and then read it straight through to the end. The way it finished tied everything up so well, I had no choice but to give it a 5-star.
And to think that Hinton wrote it when she was a teenager makes it all the more impressive.
