Everyone tries The Book Thief first and it's great but it's not the book I'd recommend.

I'm finally going to read The Book Thief for a book club, but I'll have to keep The Underdog in mind.

Maybe the Underdog might have less holds.

So it makes more sense in the context that you just keep reading book 2, and you already know them and their family situation. I've also decided that these books, including The Underdog, are so wonderful because of the voice of Cameron. Even though I've put it down to concentrate on other books right now, I can't stop thinking about him! LOVE.Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.com
