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.

I like the book because I think it’s a really interesting book to read and you get to learn more about different types of cultures!

I liked this book because I’m getting ready to go to kindergarten. My favorite part is when the mom and dad cry when the kids go to school.

I loved this book. My favorite part was when the giant cupcake fell on the fairy and Petey. It was funny when Lil Petey was saying please like 25 times because he wanted Flippy and Molly to stay at the house.

It was great

I liked the ending

A short, sweet book about the power of a pet to draw an old person back into the will to live. Sometimes funny, always heartwarming.

Fun love baking

I loved this satirical little book about book banning, misogyny, racism, and more! Each chapter is named after a banned book (or an invented one), and delves into the lives in a small Southern town in Georgia. These things do happen and it's how the residents handle them that makes you sit up and take notice! Four stars for too neat of a package at the end.

They learned how to defeat the goldfish.
