Customer Reviews

this is a wonderful book!

This book was really great- funny, gritty, and moving. The psychology of the characters is very real- when Charlotte's father's "manhood" is undermined, he takes out his anger on the only people he has power over- his own family. The children in this book are portrayed as wise, imaginative individuals.This book should be read by people of all ages.
