I like this book because it is entirely possible this could happen to some kid in real life. It also teaches life lessons like how not to take what you have for granted. This story has been given lots of life with the multiple different characters and how they either help Willow on her journey, or Willow helps them, or even both. The way this story highlights the struggles of an adopted child is what I love about this book the most. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did! 🙂
Ps. I read this at the age of 10 almost 11 🙂
