4.0

It was a bit slow to start and difficult to get into because the author throws a lot of characters at you at once. That being said this was possibly one of the most touching books I've read despite being middle grade. It brought me to tears at one point and left me feeling warm and cozy. Definitely recommend if you like stories of family and community support.
