My son read this book, then the entire series, and loved it. It was my second or third time trying to get into it, but it finally took hold! I think because there's something just so sweet and hopeful about it, everyone coming together... such a stark contrast from our current world, I suppose. And even when bad things happened, Roz was positive and either tried to change things or accepted them. Certainly a timely message, and one I needed to read. Now I have books two and three waiting for me, and I can't wait to dive in!
