What a good book!

Really, I love this book. I bought it a few weeks ago and now I read a chapter or two everynight. Its a very interesting book, and it is hard to put down after reading for a bit. I just really like it, it has lots of detail and really good story. I would recommend this book to anyone, buy it.

What an absolutely fascinating book! A child loses his family and is forced to live with an Aunt he hardly knows. He feels responsible for the fire that took his parents' lives. He catches bits of conversation that he misinterprets and thinks the cops have found out that he killed his parents. He runs away and becomes the equivalent of a church mouse. This book is a heart wrenching look at what it is to be young & alone & coming to terms with your first experience of being loved, which is what you have always wanted anyway. Buy it, love it.
