wonderful little book

A charming story that is fun and very sweet (without being sappy). It won't change the world (except perhaps in very subtle ways), but it'll definitely bring a smile to your face.

Quotes, Questions & Commentsp. 140-141 [the group is preparing for the dance @ the cemetary] In our cemetery, each tombstone has a locked box attached to it. And inside each locked box there's a book. I don't know who started this idea, or how long it's been around. But if you go to the cemetery gates, the keeper will give you the key to any box you'd lke. Inside each book you will find the pages from a life. Some of the books have the dead person's own writing. Others have writing from after the death; people who come to visit the graves write down memories and stories. Sometimes they'll write directly to the person asking questions or giving updates on how everything turned out in the afterwords. Every now and then I'll look at my grandmother's book, which is filled with recipes and home truths. Or I'll take out a pen and add a line or two in my grandfather's book, telling him who won the World Series, if my mother hasn't already come by to fill him in.-I have never heard of this being done, but think it is a great idea. I think I would be more comfortable being burried if there was something like this in the cemetary where I was burried. I wonder where the author got this idea...hmmm, maybe I'll email him.p. 156 I [Paul] find my greatest strength in wanting to be strong. I find my greatest bravery in deciding to be brave. I don't know if I've ever realized this before, and I don't know if Tony's ever realized it before, but I think we both realize it now. If there's no feeling of fear, then there's no need for courage. I think Tony has been living with his fear for all his life. I think he now he's converting it to courage.-Do you think this statement is true? Why or why not?
