Whatever you guys say about this book, it's the best book I've ever read!!I read it in gr. 6 and the whole class fell in love with it.

@Alison2996 i finished the book before my class because i fell so in love with it , my class thought it was stupid because of the cover , but u should never judge a book from its cover and my class luved it , today i had the Tess for it because to days ago my class finished the book and got 100% on my test
