I just love to read!

Summer is my time to read.  I'm halfway through this gem.

I will admit I didn't know what to think about it at first.  It's a different style of writing alternating between two protagonists.  It's a little like a series of essays.  But they are beautiful and tell a beautiful story.  I was also attracted to the Hedgehog in the title.  My daughter's 4th grade teacher had a hedgehog in the classroom and it was her theme for the year.  That was a little different for elementary school.  And this book has helped me to appreciate this special animal even more.  The book was a New York Times Bestseller, deservedly so.
