As I am more than half way into the book I cannot help but to express my feelings so far. Just reading about the Walls children and the way they made the best of each ball of FIRE thrown at them, made me not only feel deep sympathy towards them but awakened my memories of my early childhood, when at times my hardships can become my own little adventure. Children have a certain innocence about them that can only take one so far. I feel that this innocence transgressed the walls children and their own independent strengths shows brightly.
