I don't remember the last time I read a book that has made me cry, even after finishing the last few pages.

At first, Jesse Aarons was not a well-liked character. I thought he was dull and small-minded until I kept on reading. Then did  I understood why he was the way he was. I actually grew to like him in the end. 
As for Leslie, I loved her imagination and the way she helped Jesse to slowly be himself without feeling shunned and an outcast.
I admired their friendship, even if it was short lived.

They make the main character slightly to obsessed with one of his teachers in my opinion.

Revisited it now as an adult and though it’s a moving story with beautiful writing at times, I was thrown off by the amount of fathobia. It’s much in the context of kids being cruel to each other but it was unexpected and went unchallenged. Other than that I really enjoyed it  now and as a child even though it punched me in the gut when I first read it.
