This book was this year's Newberry winner and it is fantastic. Like most books for children, a good reader can figure out where it's going before it actually gets there. But even so, it was hard for me to put down. I am really looking forward to reading it aloud to my class as I think it will initiate some good discussions and thinking.

PS Right now I'm reading The Graveyard Book - Newberry winner from two years ago. The kids are hooked!
