    I thought this was a very good book that made you think a lot. They were telling two different stories: one with Dallas and Florida and the other with the Trepids. I know I say the same meanings over and over again, but it works with the books. This meaning also mean the bad will turn to good. In this book. Dallas and Florida are in the adoption place and they are treated horribly. Dallas and Florida want to escape. They eventually come to this place called Rudy Holler with an elderly couple. They have a good time there. Dallas and Florida thought they were at rock bottom, but then, they were thinking that they were in heaven. This meaning absolutly works for this book.

    I really didn't like this book, I thought was going nowhere and was very dull. Maybe in a few years.
