I have heard about this book for a long time and after recently hearing the author on a podcast decided to read the young adult version. While it's not the most uplifting book, it is hopeful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent narration by the author himself. I‘d love to teach parts of this along with TKAM. I haven‘t seen the film but have heard good things about it as well.

Current read; I hope to see the movie soon.
Given the student population I work with, I think this might make a good choice for a staff book study.
