Personal Response: Although this book ahs some very heartbreaking elements, there are moments of complete happiness. It is so easy to fall in love with Wilbur over and over again. I also like that Charlotte sees Wilbur is shunned and considered an outsider and still devotes her all to help him. I rate this book at a 4.
A question you would ask before reading: Have you ever felt like you did not belong anywhere?
