I guess they don't like "quiet movies." Ladytink_534: Definitely read it before the movie. Jupiter - I'm putting The Great Gilly Hopkins on my list. I'd love to read it before the movie comes out. Thanks for the great reminder. Janssen - I'm glad you enjoyed it! Childrens Movie Watcher - It's been a long time since I saw the movie. I should rewatch it so I can make another reassessment. Kim L. - Although I didn't cry in the book, I understand that it can be a tearjerker as well. Liviania - Thanks for the recommendation. This was my first book by her so I've got a bit of catching up to do. Trish - Yep,no fantasy. While they did pretend it was a Narnia world there were no descriptions to paint that picture. Jeane - The language was really subtle and didn't bother me at all. I have no clue where the witchcraft comes in. And seriously, death is life. Deal with it, I say! Laura H. - Yep, sometimes you have to wonder about the people who get these books put on this list. M – I think they had to make the movie exciting or else kids wouldn’t enjoy it.

My fifth grade teacher read us this book. I remember that I couldn't wait to get to school to hear how it ended. Thats a big deal for me because I never did like school.

I don't remember it having bad language. And promoting witchcraft? What's that about. Admittedly it's been a few years since I read it, but I don't find the book at all objectionable, as I'm planning to share it with my own daughter. And this wouldn't be the first book where my daughter has encountered the idea of death! Much less what she sees in the yard where my cats exercise their hunting skills and bring the results home, and my three-year-old catches bugs- and sometimes they die. She's well aware of death already. I think the book veered quite a bit from the tone and (some) content of the book, but it was good nevertheless. I don’t remember it having bad language.

I was really expecting a fantasy type book. I hadn’t seen the movie but I did watch several previews before reading the book and I was really surprised that there wasn’t any flash either.

I like many of Katherine Paterson's other books better. She's a master of the children's tearjerker, and this one always got me the worst. (Read Lyddie. I loved that one.)
