Title: Warm and wonderful
Review: Despite the sad subject and setting of this book, I felt uplifted by young Riley's spirit and his acceptance of his life and the people in it. I loved his little-boyness; for me, Byrd's Riley is one of the best drawn child characters since the children in To Kill A Mockingbird. Others characters were interesting or disturbing; I'd surely love to see a sequel to Riley's Fire. The ending was a bit too much of a surprise for me, but a surprise, nonetheless!
