"I loved this book as a kid and read it over and over. I'm not sure why I wanted to revisit it but it's still a good read. It's a bit dated in language but the core story of learning to live with blindness and the value of good friends and forgiveness still stand."
"As a kid I would read this book over and over (which is why I gave it four stars) because I thought it was fascinating how someone puts their life back together after a life altering tragedy. I am still intrigued by these themes in books. (I think I also thought I should find out what it was like to be blind since I have had the irrational notion since childhood that one day I will also become blind.) The writing is fairly elementary (RL 4) and probably won't appeal to adults - I know I was disappointed upon reading it again as an adult. But the simple language and simple plot is perfect for elementary school readers."
