    Simplest at its core....
    The story stretches between a girl & a boy alongside facing life's forthgivings. The cast, story-line and emotional attachments to the characters are mag magnified and well filled.

    Unpopular opinion; Feels somewhat like bridge to terabithia..2! Why anna sophia robb keep appering in these kinda stories, gosh.
