Great writing & illustrations! This book is based on author Shannon Hale's childhood. I enjoyed the 1980's pop culture references and was interested in the Salt Lake City Mormon-influenced setting. The book shows the trials and tribulations of trying to make lasting friendships, but it ends on a positive, encouraging note. We see that life is not always perfect and that we sometimes make mistakes with our friendships, but the important thing is to learn and grow and move forward. There are some fun extras in the back of the book, including a note from Hale and some of her old school photos.
