It is written by a female, and I read it as a female and really enjoyed it. The relationships, although all occuring between males, are truly universal representations of sibiling and parent/child relationships. The story also discusses the loss of a mother, who Ben often talks about with pride and respect, which is refreshing and gender positive.radcinbadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275153309703047703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-81646164779894537752009-12-06T20:20:41.638-06:002009-12-06T20:20:41.638-06:00Just curious about how you think female students w...Just curious about how you think female students would benefit from this book?T.

A poetry connection would also be an addition to break up the book if the students need a break from reading ro if the reaqding gets poetry on the mind of the readers for an after book unit.
