"It's all about changing what's handed to you, about poking around a little, lifting the corners, seeing what's underneath, poking that. Sometimes things work out, sometimes they don't, but atleast you're exploring. And life is always more interesting that way."
This is a heart-warming book with a cute sweetness in every sentence about accepting differences, living with happiness of different forms and living without it. It's placed in the past; where a girl named Hattie Owen is introduced to a whole new concept of a person.
Hattie Owen is a normal little girl who is used to her life - and enjoys how familiar it is. It's all routined until she's introduced to an uncle no one's ever told her about. Adam is mentally ill and very childlike for a twenty-one year old. But somehow Hattie can see the love in him so clearly. She really adores him. But when no one else does -- how will Adam feel?
The story is heartbreaking and heartwarming. It's a good one. Very effective very beautifully written. The most wonderful part is how the begginning goes to the end -- the words people speak. Most of all, what Hattie realises in the end seems very inspiring. I like it very much. Ever thing affects us -- the way it ends. The way happiness just goes like that. I like how it's portrayed. I like how Ann M. Martin put in some I love Lucy bits and even explained why Adam must've liked Lucy so much. Every aspect of the stry was practically perfect. I also love how it just shows Hattie making this whole new group of friends. And that talk with Catherine before the news came up-- it just told you what was going to happen next, it got you thinking. I have to say, it was an amazing read -- ingenius.
