I read this many years ago and loved it. An elderly friend of mine gave me an original copy of it as a gift several years ago. I have cherished it. An online book club I follow was doing it for September and that was enough for me to finally pull it off the shelf and read it again. It had nagged at me for a long time to read it again in the original copy. I did not remember much of the story and thoroughly enjoyed it for a second time. It is one of the greatest classics. For me it surpasses most of them. Betty Smith, the author is a very interesting person as well. The book was actually written as semi-autobiographically. I'd suggest anyone with a 12 year old give them this book to read.
