Really good. Absolutely breathtaking. It really teaches you how to enjoy life and think outside the square. It's really sad how everyone can't accept him for who he is. You'll absolutely love it! Unputtdownable.
Janette C. Age 11

A Corner of the Universe was an incredible story. It is a book that a lot of people can relate to and it opens up a whole new window of understanding of the lives of people with certain liabilities. It just goes to show that it doesn't matter what people see you as, it's what people see in you.

This book taught me about life, and see how complicated it was for Hattie, and so that made me think that no one should try hard to be perfect, they should act their own way so everybody can be themselves.
Behfar O. Age 12

This book is awesome. It's such a great reflection of how we should accept people, who are different from us, something that our generation is having difficulties with, and yes, that includes me. The book brought me to feel many emotions, happiness, sadness, angriness, which is also why I enjoyed this book. It's one of my favorites.
