...I'm just going to go ahead and say it. This book has that Newbery award feel to me. Deep characters, beautiful writing with pockets of humor, and a touching story. I would like to read it again, to savor it. Highly, highly recommended. Don't let the small size fool you. Cicada Summer is a keeper.
