Honestly, I don't think I would have liked this one as a kid, even though it's technically a YA book. It's all about the harsh realities of life and that's not always fun to hear about as a kid. <br /><br />Bybee - Me too! I was expected a somewhat borrowing story about a deer, but it was really wonderful.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-30917112156882722692012-04-02T08:05:50.257-04:002012-04-02T08:05:50.257-04:00I was surprised at how gritty this book was and ho...I was surprised at how gritty this book was and how much I loved it.Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-55322458859145190422012-04-02T06:58:22.521-04:002012-04-02T06:58:22.521-04:00The kids and I tried to listen to this on audio an...The kids and I tried to listen to this on audio and it just didn't work.
