Honestly, thank you Ben Mikaelsen for making the book, and thank you to my 7th grade teacher for making this book a class book that we had to analyze and discuss with one another.
If I were to reach out to those classmates again, I'm very sure that they and I would agree that this book hit a special cord in our hearts during a time where COVID-19 was still prevalent, and were in online school.

- from what i remember of this book, it is a classic, and the characters were very comforting at a time in my school years where i felt alone and bored.
- i would recommend any kid from 2nd-5th grade to read this book. :)
