"Brilliant book. Read it as a child, loved it without understanding. Read it to my children and realised it is about death, and in particular children dying. Heartbreaking but also hopeful."
"I read it, and it seemed to me to be very long. Still, I was in year seven (sixth grade to Americans), and I'd already read the young readers' abridged version. Which, let me tell you, was a whole lot shorter.
I should read it again to get a clear idea of it..."
"I read this to my 9 year-old boy and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Love the way it is written and how the main character, Diamond, grows in fortitude and character throughout the story."
