Why read it?

1 author picked Maybe It's a Sign as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this book because it somehow manages to be a poignant grief story, a delightful friendship story, and a cute (and funny!) tale of first romance all in one book. And all in one book that’s under 250 pages, to boot!

From Laurie's list on middle grade novels with romance.
