I loved it too! And the movie is so awful. It doesn't do the book justice at all, which is so typical.

She's a librarian at a middle school and the kids always hate it whenever any of the reading or English teachers decide to read it with them. And then they hate the movie even more when they have to watch it. Okay, I'll quit hating on children's books.
