So, I just couldn't get into this book. It is short but still took me a week to finish it. I almost feel guilty not liking a Newbery--they should fit into a higher standard. Oh well. I just didn't get reeled in. The basic theme is the idea of returning to your roots and appreciating what you have instead of always looking on the other side of the fence. The last half of the book was definitely more interesting than the first and the last 2 chapters, as the book resolves itself, are decent. The ending is pretty abrupt. It wasn't bad...just couldn't get into it.
