I was hesitant to read this, as I lost a friend in the WTC on 9/11, but the story's main character -- a wise, clever and funny 9 year old boy who lost his father on 9/11 -- brings empathy and compassion and has renewed my own faith in humanity. All I'm left to say is ... wow. Very highly recommended.
