Wow.  So simply written.  It is in 1st person from Rose's point of view.  Everything just works in this story.  It is centered around my favorite thing...Figurative Language.  :-)  Homonyms and Homophones.  What is the difference between homophones and homonyms?  

Ann Martin conveys emotions, thoughts, images, and more using such a personal voice.  I cried a lot as I became more and more a part of the story.  I felt something for the character Rose and began to feel her place in the world.  

This is a must read.  This book shows an authors' craft of how important character is to the story.
