I found it very haunting and beautiful . Inspired me to live with integrity . But it was a little derivative and definitely too short ! More of a novella when it needed about 200 more pages !

Has many fun activities and teaches you A LOT! I would want Ashlee as my teacher!

It was weird in a good way

Surprised at how much this story moved me. Still reeling from the ending. (And FYI, it’s racier than the Netflix version!)

I cried so much through this book that the words were blurry, and I had to wipe away tears every couple of seconds. Bravo!

I like the dark because she never gives up and even though you feel like you can’t do something you always need to try and try and try again and that’s why I like Vashti and that’s also why I like the book

There are some crazy facts in this book!

Found at the vacation house that we rented in 2025 June. I read the June chapter for the Summer Reading Challenge short story or essay square. What a great writer! He really captures nature and is so engaging. Makes me want to stand in a forest quietly and take it all in. Beautiful! Wish I could take the book home.

I liked all the dinosaurs

I like the bad seed because he is so bad but he wasn’t always that bad but he lost his family so that’s what made him bad but I also like when he decides not to dothat so bad
