Ms. Darnell's wonderful book is such a breath of fresh air.  The characters are eccentric and unique, and seeing the world through Peregrin "Perry" Aliger's eyes is not like looking through rose-colored glasses...it's like strapping two telescopes to your eyes and viewing the galaxy.  Through her creative descriptions, Ms. Darnell paints vivid pictures that you carry with you long after putting the book down.  She makes you look at your neighbors differently and she revitalizes the way you regard relationships.I thoroughly recommend this book, and absolutely can't wait till Ms. Darnell's next one comes out!!
