When I read this book I felt as if I were right there with the characters. Gin's writing is exceptional and she story didn't mean to have a dull spot. I love the generally slow and mindful story. It is definitely a book I'll always keep close to heart. I recommend this to all parents who have young kids to teach them a valuable lesson on friendship and how many adventures it could take you on.
