⭐⭐
Not a book for me and not one I would recommend. It didn’t hold my interest, and probably felt more of a chore to get through. Not completely terrible, but I didn’t have a good experience. This book was an enjoyable read, but there are several things I wish were done differently.

I am not settled with how I feel about this book. On one hand I liked it...very much. On the other...I found it very sad and not complete. I understand its a child's book, but something is nagging at me...not sure exactly what it is...the short time Jess and Leslie knew each other...the odd relationship with the music teacher...or maybe the story lines that were left kind of dangling, unfinished. Overall, it was a good story!

I had never read the book before but I watched the movie when it came out and it was the first movie I ever cried at. This book was a good portrayal of childhood grief, showing how it can be difficult for kids to feel like they are grieving right. This book was written in the 70s so some aspects are definitely dated but overall this was a cute but moving book

Not as good as I thought it'd be. Kind of hard to get through. Sad, but not as emotional as I expected it to.
