I did listen to the audio version over the weekend and I’ve got to say it’s an amazing book that everyone should read. I got goosebumps a few times and started to tear once or twice too.

I started the weekend with both the downloaded audio and a fresh copy delivered to my door by amazon. The hard copy got my attention and I finished it up yesterday afternoon.
I also found myself quite amazed and I kept trying to put myself in the mindset of teens or tweens and get a sense of how they would respond to the book. I am still left with the question of whether or not this is a book that kids will really like or if it is just book that I WANT them to like.
I gave a copy to my 17 year-old niece and maybe she will help me sort things out.
The CC-licensed free download is now available.
