** spoiler alert ** Oh I loved this book too! Its so sweet, and sad and wonderful. I cried. My teacher read it outloud in my 5th grade class and when the character died, I turned to the little boy next to me (I think his name was PJ Gaskill--I can't believe I remember this), and said, "That's not true is it?" and he looked at me with tears in his eyes and nodded. It was probably one of the first mature interactions I ever had with an "icky" boy.
two words: po mo please don't read it because you have to. read it because you are an obsessive english/cuban/italian lit major who likes having tricks played upon him/her.
