"I picked up this book because I remembered a few people recomending it to me a while ago. I was a little bit skeptical, because it seemed old. Not like Pride and prejudice old, just old. I know I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but I cant help it. I usually go for the books with bright happy covers, and whiter pages, with bigger print. This one seemed dull and yellowy... But I am so glad I ended up reading it. This book was amazing. I love the detail the author puts into it. I cried several times while reading it...which definitely makes it a good book"
"This book is about how a boy is in love with the nature, and he always look forward at it as a remedy to his pains. From what I learn from the book, this boy is named Georgie Burgess and he had a very, very harsh childhood. He was abused by his mother and her boyfriend, and also being neglected by most of thee teachers at school. So this poor boy's way to lift his mood up is by looking at flowers. One day, he won a grocery's lottery and had a prize as a rose. He then put all of his energy and hope into planting this flower..."
"I read this book because one of my fifth grade book clubs is currently reading it. The story is about a child who is horribly abused by his mother's boyfriend. The only thing he enjoys in life is looking at the roses in a flower book. Then, by chance, he wins a rosebush in a lottery drawing. Though he soon faces the worst beating he's ever received, his life starts to take a turn for the better. I enjoyed this story of survival and forgiveness very much. However, I was confused by the change in point of view when the author, in two chapters changes pov from Georgie to Robin. But, all in all, it's a good read!"
"This is the first book I remember reading as a tween that really changed how I felt about other people and society as a whole. Its the reason I first wanted to get my degree in Social Work. Great read, geared towards early teens but still good for adults as well."
