Am I the only one here who finds this to be perhaps the most startlingly beautiful work of children's literature ever written?

Holy shit OP.

I'm actually involved with a play production of this right now. Playing Jesse's parent.

This book wins on so many levels. Actually made me cry in grade four in class. I was bullied for crying, but I didn't give a fuck.

It's just such a poignant and honest look at childhood imagination. It portrays that childish adventure and spirit can indeed be dangerous, but that it's important to hang on to anyways. So fucking great.

No, you're definitely not alone, albeit that isn't the only book.

Also, the movie adaptation was pretty good of this book.

I just liked how it dealt with Leslie's death.
