January 06, 2007: This book is truley outstanding! I'm sure many people including myself could relate to all of the struggles of 10 year old Doris of 163rd ST. The unique characters including amir made this book even more interesting to read. It would seem so amazing to have a friend like amir. This book was really page turning. And even thogh I read it a while ago it will still be my top rated book, EVER.
