The kid made me laugh with her fishing antics.
Pretty sure I wouldn’t have succeeded in her shoes.
And then she made me cry when she screamed for her mother.
Sometimes Stephen King is brutally honest in his writing.

Don’t drink the water.
Something’s always in the water.

Laying this book out as a game of baseball was ingenious or… extremely boring if you’re not a fan.
I am a straight-up huge fan of the Diamond dig.

Skin crawling like the bugs in this book.

God I love this kid!

Childhood is much harder on the children that we believe it to be.
As adults - and as time, technology , education methods, sports emphasis, social diversity, etc., changes - we should never accept that childhood is easy.
Think, people. THINK!

Children are resilient.
How many times have you heard that?

Rereading this book.
Why?
Because I don’t feel it receives the love it should.
