this is just like bridge to terabithia all over again.. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KILL OFF A LITTLE KID???
my heart can't take that
I was waiting until they ran into her again after years at the end but nooooo, she's just 6ft under
I like the character development of the toad.
i really loved this one. definitely kept me on my feet, after I turned the last page I couldn't help but want more. definitely a memorable book ❤️.
Wonderful. Made me cry. This seems like a great book for helping kids feel a little easier about death, and how it's a part of life. Apart from that aspect, it is a great book simply for the beautiful story, no matter what age the reader.
Something about this book is very haunting. It's a children's book, but I think I would hesitate before having a child read it. I kept thinking about what eternal life on earth would be like, and to be honest, it seems like quite a hellish thing. But the characters are sweet and they have quite an adventure.
