I couldn't put it down. It's very smart because it really contains everything I think books like this should contain. It's sad, scary, angry, funny, and very hopeful in the end. All of the very weird and interesting characters have a completed arc. I think this book is good for kids needing a story about grief and emotion. I also think it questions faith and religion and the afterlife in s really smart way. It's well written, like a mixture of poetic and simple. I will buy this for people and also make sure it gets into my library.
