![]() ![]() I like happy endings, you know?, and I really just want to read this book again and again. I have never read about a five-year-old character as fleshed out and important as Ben is, and it was such a pleasure. Even now, months after I first read the ARC of this book, I can hear Brenda’s voice in my head, encouraging Morgan to just step towards the door.Īnd as for her little brother (Ben), he stole the show in the school play as well as this book. I also loved the supporting cast: Evan, Morgan’s mom, and her therapist Brenda. I loved how smart and funny Morgan is, but she’s also so panicked and broken. The overall feel of this book reminded me of everything I loved about Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and any Sharon Creech book, but it definitely reads at a mature enough level for my high school students. I’m usually a read-in-the-morning, TV-in-the-evening sort of girl, but this book was so captivating that I wanted to read it instead. This is the book that I chose over TV for two nights in a row. ![]() Now, more than ever, she longs to take the first step back outside… ![]() ![]() However, her brother just got cast in a play and a new boy, Evan, has just moved in next door.
