I usually don't enjoy books that often but i really fell in love with it, it was a really interesting novel that won a Young readers choice award not to long ago
i really recommend this book because there are some really detailed descriptions and some pictures to help the visual perspective of the novel. I have read this book twice now and have been thinking about reading it a third time..
I have seen the movie to this book and I must say that it was really nice and I've been thinking of reading the book since
