A newberry award winner

The book is an award winning book. While it is a childerns book there is much that as an adult one can learn and appreciate. Even the least of us can be great given the chance.

Wonderful

As being 16 i never thought i would read a book as old as this one, but i'm glad i did. The reason i read this book was because it was the last book in the class room that i basic have not read. this book really opened up my eyes. This story is about a young girl who wants to be loved, and she trys to get it to everyone but they all refuse it. She finds this Marble Child and that can't refuse her love. the ending of the story kind of leaves you hanging. overall it gives you a new thinking in life.

Very Different Indeed

This is a story of a deaf mute girl who is raised unloved by anyone. She finally finds love from the statue of a baby. Little does she know that this is a statue of baby Jesus and it has been missing for years from another famous statue. A stranger comes to town & finds the missing statue, knowing exactly what it is. The townsfolk take the baby away from the girl to display it and draw tourists. The girl steals the baby back & the townspeople hunt her down. But you'll have to read the book yourself to find out the surprising tragic ending.
