RELEASE NOTES:
Wow! I had forgotten about this book coming to me. I was wondering what was in the slim package and was surprised when I opened it. Thanks a million - will read and release soon!
What a lovely book! THis was my final read for February 2005 and I'm glad I snuck it in under the wire (or during the commercial breaks while watching "24", that is!)
I enjoyed DiCamillo's Because of Winn-Dixie and this one as well. I notice a common theme between the two books - set in the south, loner child, animals, but the stories are different. This is a great story about learning to set the past free and begin to heal. I look forward to reading more of this author's work.

Caught from the Relayers' Bookbox. This looks lovely. :) Thanks, MarciNYC!
I have to say this was not really my thing. The whole time I was reading it I kept thinking yup, this is exactly the sort of thing adults would get all excited to push on elementary school students (Oh, the symbolism! The emotional progression!), but as a child I would have hated it. I would have come away thinking that the book started bleak, had little story, stayed pretty darn bleak, and nothing good survived. Guess I was more of a Little House and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory kind of kid.
Mailing to morsecode -- happy reading!
This book arrived safe and sound in Buffalo, NY today.
This afternoon I finished one of the books I was reading, but didn't want to start anything too indepth. I noticed this book on my shelf and decided to pick it up. It was short and a quick read. I'm sorry to repor that I didn't like it nearly as much as I thought I would. Despite the book being very well-wrought, I couldn't help wanting a bit more from it, I wanted to "see" Mr. Beauchamp's reaction to the news.
Update, 9 August: This book is going into the Teen VBB.

I'm mailing this book off to appaloosatb, who selected it from the book box, tomorrow.
This has arrived safely. Thank you!
I enjoyed this. I wish the story had been longer and more detailed, but I think part of the magic was the way the story was written so maybe I wouldn't have liked it as well had she written more. *shrugs*
Mailing to Kel. Enjoy!
This was returned as undeliverable because I'm an idiot and messed up the address by one number. I'll mail it out again on Monday.
I'm sorry, I received this some time ago and forgot to journal.I have enjoyed all Kate DiCamillo's books that I have read so far, so I expect I'll enjoy this one, too.
I actually found a copy at a UBS before this one arrived (forgetting it was on the way) so I will be sure to find this one a new home.
Thank you!
Finally getting back into reading, but taking it easy and picking light books for now. I picked this up with high hopes; unfortunately, I was let down. I didn't like it very much. I was hoping for more storyline with the tiger. I didn't expect for things to go the way they did.Ah well. Can't like every book!
Left on a bench outside of the cashier/car pick-up area.Hello! And thank you for picking up this book!
What you have in your hands is an honest-to-goodness gift, no strings attached. You may keep it forever and ever, pass it on to a friend, or release it in the wild like I did. I know it may seem a little odd to find this lying around - it's my way of touching the lives of others in a positive way, with the hope that it made your day. :)
