I read almost all of this and just couldn't force myself to finish this slim little children's novel. It appears to be much loved and I actually remember all the buzz about it when it first came out because I was in my teacher training at the time.
I tend to believe that "timing is everything" and that could be the case here. I'm clearly way out of the main demographic of this book. And the central message of the book seems to have not aged well. But I can see if someone had read this at a certain point in their life how they could have a great deal of nostalgia for it. I'm sure many of my old childhood favorites would feel baffling to me if I were reading them now for the first time.
