This book is the best book I've read in my entire life. I am a total bookworm, and I just started middle school, so I've read quite a lot of books. But this book got me hooked on the third page!! Sophie's my book idol, and whenever I'm sad for some reason, or bored, I just pick up my copy of KOTLS (from my 9th birthday, so it's a bit tattered now) and I feel a whole lot better once I start reading it. It's like my worries wash away. THANK YOU SHANNON SO MUCH FOR WRITING THIS BOOK!!! I thought Harry Potter was great, but, I don't know so much anymore!! KOTLS has become a part of my life ;)
