Not done yet, only on page 157, but it is such a great book! This is where the saying, dont judge a book by is cover really kicks in. I honestly wasnt all happy about having to read this one but once I got into it, I couldnt put it down!! ;P When our teacher says, put ur books down, I am like AAAWWW :( but i read all the time at home!! It is a little hard to follow but you can find a way to follow along. I highly recomend it to everyone who likes fairy tales or kids with illnesses. Enjoy!! -Oinker101 :D SILVER BERCH ROOCCCKKKSS ROCK ON!!! :DSJKDFHRBWEUIG TIHRTUYG SWEHRGEDHFWEY TUEDCGFE4R5YGFGERYT4379EWHFUDSYFUGBWERRDFDSTGERTFGR

I have to say, this was my favorite book out of all of them! And I've read practically all of them :D I recommend this to everyone! Its like the book was made for me, with the plot and the genre, fantasy. I just love this sort of book and I hope you do too. Read it!
