Review
A 1997 Newbery Honor Book An ALA Best Book for Young Adults A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year A School Library Journal Book of the Year 'This is a touching and multi-layered novel, with a narrative style that Sharon Creech fans will recognise, demonstrating both the pros and cons of living in a small community.' -- The Guardian, 23 October 2001 'An admirable, stirring book.' -- The New York Times Book Review 'A delightful read by a real truth teller.' -- School Library Journal 'White creates vivacious, memorable characters.' -- Publishers Weekly 'This is a well-written novel with plenty of wry humour. The characters are beautifully created and developed, the story is well thought-out and developed by this award-winning author.' -- Jackie Harris, Worcester Evening News, October 2002 'Three cheers to the Edinburgh publisher Floris for publishing it.' -- Achuka.co.uk
From the Author
Not for everyone. Teachers need to realize this.
This is a very moving and touching book. Gypsy and Woodrow two complete opposites come to realize it's not always greener on the other side and things are not always what they appear to be. This is not a book for all children. Although I found the story to be enjoyable and full of life's lessons my son just didn't get it. He and many of his classmates found the story very hard to follow and understand. This book should be read in school so that someone familiar with the story could help the kids with thier questions.
