Query: Not Newbery Caliber

The story is well-written, but there is a large amount of prose that I don't think a lot of children will stick with. There are also some heavy themes of sickness, peer pressure, and prejudice. Also, parents and teachers, be careful before you choose this one for a read aloud or as a novel to teach. There are numerous, and known, curse words that will have your children and students looking at you like, "Why'd you choose this one for us to read?"
