This quote sums up what I liked best about this book--I think it did a good job at introducing the very real problems often brought about by gentrification and the privilege of the upper-class. I did find the book to be a bit too simplistic and predictable for my tastes, but it was hard to remove myself as an adult city-dweller. Read this for my book club...I know already a few of the kids really love it. Should be a good discussion!
