I read Paper Towns by Green and absolutely loved it. So, I decided to read his previous books as well. This was a great coming-of-age/road trip story that was quirky and entertaining. A highly recommended read. I did like Paper Towns a bit better than this book, but this book …
I listened to this book on audio book; the audio book was really well done with each story being read by a different person who really fit the character. I picked this book up because I had heard such wonderful things about it. It was a very interesting book and …
I actually saw this book the first time through the Amazon Vine program; I ended up getting it from the library instead, but the cover and book description intrigued me. I liked some parts of the book and disliked others; overall it ended up being an okay read. It was …

This is the third DiCamillo book I have read. I really enjoyed both “The Magician’s Elephant” and “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane”. I liked this book too, although not as much as the others of hers that I have read. Rob Horton’s mom died and then his dad decided …
