Lovely story and great animation.
This is such a great book! My daughter, who’s now in her 20’s loved it and now my niece, who’s 11 is enjoying it.

Beautiful.
A well-written story that really exceeded my expectations. I thought it would be strictly similar to the movie, but it turned out to be much more lengthy and rich!

Fofo e divertido, mas edição deixou a desejar.
É uma história infantil, dito isso, é muito boa e divertida, se você gostou do filme provavelmente vai amar o livro, os personagens são mais desenvolvidos e tem cenas legais, inclusive preferi os do livro. Sobre a edição: é bem estilo paperback americano, mas as folhas são de jornal (são cinzas e tem até o mesmo cheiro). É um ótimo livro pra pré adolescentes, o inglês é de fácil a intermediário (a autora usa sinônimos complicadinhos, mas não tem diálogos complexos ou descrições muito extravagantes).

Good book my version was a misprint
My copy was printed with the cover inside out and back to front. Amazon resolved quickly. Story is great.

日本人作家の英訳本なので、英語が読みやすい！
ネイティブの作家が書いた本と違い、日本人作家の英訳本なので、英語が読みやすい！ それに結構分厚くて、丁寧なイラストも挿入されて、大変お買い得！ 人気はかなりある本なのかも。ジブリとは無関係なイメージが少し人気を下げているかも知れないが、それだからむしろ良い。ジブリは独自の内容を付け加えている。 中学生からの多読習慣には最適！ 一つ気になる事を見つけた。表紙の一番上と裏表紙の新聞社による書評で、どう見てもアニメに影響された本と書いてある様に読める。これは作家の名誉の為に言っておかないといけないが、逆である。 I found something that concerns me. In the top of the cover and the back cover, the book review by the newspaper makes it look like it was influenced by anime. I have to say this for the honor of the author, but it's the opposite.
