This is a depressing book for younger children. I found myself remembering the time that I read this book in 7th grade. The book is definitely written for children. It is definitely an emotional book. I remember crying in class while I was reading it.

This is one of the most depressing books that I have ever read. I felt the need to reread it to see if it really was as depressing as I remembered it, it was.

I finally decided that I needed to reread the book. Though the book did not give me the emotional reaction I had in middle school I did feel sorrow for the main character.

This is an anti-bullying book but it seems that it is more about how the rich will rule the world and the poor will be forced to walk in the streets.
