O maior mérito do livro é lembrar que gentileza também pode ser um tema literário relevante. A alternância de narradores amplia a compreensão dos conflitos sem transformar ninguém em vilão absoluto. Embora a escrita seja simples, ela evita cair na superficialidade. O livro emociona porque entende que inclusão não depende apenas de boas intenções, mas da capacidade de enxergar o outro como indivíduo. Uma leitura acessível, sincera e surpreendentemente madura.

This was one of my favourite books as a youbg child and still is now. I think I've read it and re-read it more than any other book. Truly beautiful.
