April 18, 2004: this is a real good book. I am adopted, and this is how I wish it could turn out. Although, i know this probably never happens in real life, it's a nice dream. I can't say it doesn't happen the way it did for Nat, but it's not the most common. I am glad how it ended, because, quiet frankly, that was a perfect ending to another great book by Lois Lowry. It also teaches a lesson, Be glad for what you have, and if you must look for something more, don't get your hopes up.
