Hmm...I'm not really 100% sure what the point was. Was the book about art, forgiveness, guilt or death? I have no clue. It was almost too short for it to have a message. I mean I liked it enough, but it was mostly just okay.Kate to me was a sap. She let her "father" walk all over her when he was not...
See What I See is a great story about acceptance and never losing sight of your dreams even if they get put on hold or things get complicated.

They were strictly required to always think of England as "home," and were often shuttled back and forth between India and...
One day, I was at the library with a friend and I saw this book on the shelf. Just laying there, waiting to be picked up. And, upon picking it up, there was absolutely no contemplation on whether or not I should read it. This is probably the best short story book I've read since Jon Scieszca's Guys ...
