pickMuch like Sarah Dessen's Dreamland, I'm glad I didn't read this when it first came out, as it wouldn't have been as impactful. A little hard to read at times due to the emotions and trauma, but I appreciate the raw honesty and the ending, as well as the characters.
I never thought I would find a children's book that used the magical realism style, but Medina pulls it off in this book! Probably best for stronger readers with good imaginations - the imagery of her language is enchanting.

Boxcar children and magic treehouse were tied.
Last time I was ecstatic was a few days ago buying my new quilt.
Fond memories would be going to movies and sneaking in cheaper junk food. #wondrouswednesday

so-soThis book was ok. I liked it but I wouldn‘t read it again. Maybe I didn‘t like it because it didn‘t relate to me at all. I think it‘s a good book and it had a great plot but it just wasn‘t my thing. :)
