Negative Positive
Title: Insightful, appropriate, and excellently written
Review: I bought this book for my then-7-year-old daughter based on others' recommendations. We ended up reading the entire book aloud in 2 days. I was extremely impressed with the writing, both for its style and its content. The author does a marvelous job of capturing the style and diction of the southern characters, and gives each one a complex personality. As for content, I thought it had just enough heavy subject matter and philosophical reflection to make it a valuable read (messages about death, family, friendship, loyalty, bravery), mixed with plenty of lighthearted adventure and exploration, narrated with classic story-telling charm. My daughter brought it in to her 2nd grade class and her teacher liked it so much that she read it to the entire class. *Highly* recommended.
