This book is an amazingly constructed work that carefully crafts what appears to be a simple story about a group of students in late 1970's New York City. Each detail and moment is essential as the tale is woven to its conclusion. That Newbery Committee sure knew what they were doing when they awarded this book the 2010 Newbery Medal! :-)
