4.5 stars.
This book reminded me of the Kate DiCamillo books I've read. The style is different, but it has that same trick of tackling big, difficult life stuff in child size bites. Despite revolving around death, grief, bullying, and stress induced physical changes, this is a sweet, lovely story.
Other than the emotional aspects I already mentioned, there are minimal content concerns for the intended age group. As is common for middle grade books, the main character occasionally lies to her parents, and there are some family tensions, but those all handled well within the story.

It reminded me of Kate DiCamillo’s books, too. I’m so glad that you liked it!
