This was a book that I had never even heard of, no blurbs on book reader websites, nothing coming up on top book club reads, but for book clubs that are all about the book, especially those who use book club questions to discuss, this is a great choice. The basis of the story is not something so new, but the way it was told, through the eyes of a 10 year old child, brought together so many different issues it was a great read.
