I was completely bewitched by the charm of the main character. The deep scar of her harsh past, that was more deeper her charm. I couldn't stop reading this book for a few days. The last sentence was also beautiful.
This book had too many characters, and that confused me. I read this book while listing their names, and I saw it again and again. Therefore, I was able to read as I concentrate this thrilling story.

Being a language interpreter, I found fascinating the film this story bases off of. It was interesting to read an adaptation geared towards middle-schoolers and I like the fact that the interpreting profession is introduced to them in this book. I would have loved to have reading material like this introducing me to my profession as a child, as I think it would have gotten me interested in interpreting much sooner. It goes without question that I highly recommend this book to our youth...because it can generate, as in no doubt already has, a strong interest in language, culture, and the creation of future interpreters from this story.

fact. It' more interesting than I read it last year. However I don't
