I thought this book was very good and I would recommend it to anyone of any age.Even if u are an adult you will enjoy this book because it is about life and it tells about the kids ife and the adults ife in the story.It took me about a week to read this book because I had school but when Ihad time i would pick it up and read it.I also liked the movie that they came out with and I would definetly recommend it to any person of any age !!

I have read this book a million times. Just ask my parents :). This is the first book that actually made me cry. Y' know, at the part where she's reading the weeping willow poem. It is one of the best books in the whole world. I think I'll go read it again!!

This is a good book. It is about a girl who is trying to find her place in the world and who she is. Thomas J helps her too. Her mother died when she was a baby.

This book is awesome. I loved the movie and this book is almost as good. It makes the death of Thomas J not so sad.

I like this book. Every time you read this book, you feel as if YOU were Vada Sultenfuss

I don't remember how many times I've read this book, but every time I read it, it's still as fresh as the first time. The book is funny, and as it is, it was a special summer of a 11-year-old girl's life

i thought this book was great and also pretty sad at the end but i enjoyed it.from the first time i started reading it i could'nt put it down.

Vada Sultenfuss is a typical 11 year old girl who has to learn to face her fears and get on with lfe even when bad things happen. She lives in a funeral parlor and has a boy (Thomas J.) for a best friend. Her mother is dead and she only has a father. Living in a funeral parlor for all her life, Vada keeps thinking she has cancer and is going to die, and her father could care less about this issue. One day Shelly comes in and ends up working for Vada's dad. Their marriage takes Vada by surprise, and when her best friend gets stung by bees she learns to cope with Shelly even though she doesn't have her best friend to always ride bikes and play with her anymore.

Vada is 11 years old and she has never met her mother and her dad is a caretaker and her bestfriend Thomas J never wants to come into the house because it is a funeral parlor. Thomas J and Vada are always riding around town on their bikes and Vada thinks that she has cancer in her throat. Though everytime she goes to see the doctor about it he says she is just fine. All the time Thomas J and Vada go sit up in a tree and one day they were going to the tree and saw a bee hive. Thomas J wanted it because he had a wasps hive and he wanted a bee hive to go with it. They were throwing rocks at it and knocked it down and bees started swarming and they ran and jumped in the lake, but before they did Vada realized she lost her mood ring and the next day Thomas J went back to where Vada had lost her ring and he got it, but when he went back the bees attacked him and of course Thomas J is allergic to everything he got stung and died from it. After Thomas J's funeral Thomas's mother went to Vada's house and gave her the ring. And though Vada was sad about Thomas J she just pretended that he was at summer camp or on vacation. Vada new that Thomas J would be taken care of because her mother would take care of him. She new that she would see him again.

Its so good... ITs about a girl going through problems and not having a mother because she died.Her father having a girlfriend dosent help her!Then latter in the book she faces the worst thing posible...?
