I think this is a really powerful book that should be shown to children everywhere! There are a few flaws though. The book is leaking with fat phobia. Every character in the book that has a bad personality also happens to be overweight. There's no need for this in any novel and it is angering that is so present in a children's novel. The friendship between the two main characters is done beautifully and it really hits you at the end of the novel.
