I agree with the entry that says “this is one of those books you will never forget.” I loved this book and have not ever forgotten it. It takes you back to childhood, the feelings, the memories, and then it takes a turn…

This is one of those books you’ll never forget. I first read this when I was about 13 or 14 and still own it and read it to this day, almost 20 years later. It is very touching and really shows the value of true friendships.

I read this book as a child and loved it very much.

my favorite book as a kid, very touching and i felt a strong connection with the characters, espesially after losing my best friend.

Beautiful narrative of Friendship, childhood dreams, and learning about life.

I knew what was going to happen. I had heard about this book since I was in grade school. My husband is sitting on the couch watching The Longest Yard cracking up & I’m next to him with mascara running down my face. Maybe it was the fact that the main characters are my daughter’s age, maybe it’s the fact that I can identify with their loneliness at that age. I’m going to recommend it to my daughter. Classic.
