What’s the Moral? One moral that can be captured from this book is that there isn’t only one way to view and interpret the world. People think there is a “norm” to living life, but there is no set way to live.

Our Favorite Part When Christopher finds the letters from his alive mom that his dad hid from him. It reveals that his mom didn’t have a heart attack, she had an affair and moved away. This was a big climax in the book just for him to find out that he was lied to and was really let down when he found out.
