Set in the remote woods of Pennsylvania's Blue Ridge Mountains, this book centers on a young woman who has secluded herself from the world to recover from a past trauma. A foreigner mysteriously shows up in the area; he also seems traumatized and haunted by his past. Although their lives seem as bleak as the winter woods setting, a mutual understanding creates a tenuous friendship between them. Disturbing truths revealed at the end were difficult to fathom and highlighted the extent to which humans can hurt each other. I was absorbed by this book; it wasn't a joyful read but was worthwhile.

We liked it because it makes school look fun and easy since we already do most of those activities... Read, play, create, and have fun!

Sadly a historical fiction but masterfully written and the film should win best adapted screenplay.

It’s a good book. It’s funny. The egg cracked.

i like the book because I have two boo boos but one is healing already. The big one is healing and the small one is not. I got them from falling off my scooter. I like riding my bike and go cart and I also like riding my scooter. I like them because they go faster.

I liked when Gerald said "That is a big guy".

I choose to go with all good options and it ended out super cool, and it also made me want to go to a water park.

This book reimagines the character of Jim from Huckleberry Finn. His character is richly drawn; his story is heartbreaking and poignant. His inner strength, wisdom and conviction are inspiring. Highly recommend!

I like the giraffes dance

I love horses
