i was in 4th grade when i first read and loved this book.
i am now 28 and the only thing this book has made me want to do is cry. it is so so beautiful but it’s so sad. classism, that one doesn’t understand at such a young age, to racism, to the state of the government. this book is brilliant and devastatingly so
