I enjoyed this book very much and it left me feeling uplifted. I felt that Wren's handling of the snake was a jarringly unrealistic moment, and I didn't like that the book inadvertently sends the message that anxiety can be cured by thinking positively. But I think it's an important read for kids of the mentally ill and kids who suffer from anxiety. I also liked the other message about the damage that rumors about others can do. (
