Quick plot summary: Rob is a quiet, observational kid who spends a lot of time in the cherry tree in his front yard, just watching the neighborhood go by. My fingers are very pruney because the plot is so well done and the pacing so good. Yeah, I was in there until I finished the book.
I mean, I started reading it in the bathtub round about 12:15- I figured I could knock out a few chapters and then go to bed. My Reaction: At first blush, I really liked this book. Information from here sadly I can't find any slightly more reputable sources, but I've seen these reasons confirmed in at least three disreputable sources unconnected with each other. The Banhammer: It "contain vulgar words.and with the way this book would teach 12-year-olds that its OK to treat elderly people like the lady in the book was treated." It's also been challenged because of violence and being age-inappropriate. Bookblather The Book: The View from the Cherry Tree, by Willo Davis Roberts
