I've seen this movie many times, but I've never actually read the book until now! Read it for banned book club, though of course it's not banned for the reasons you might think. I appreciated the way that this book deals with complex emotions for kids, both with grief and with just general friendship. And the movie is a pretty good adaptation of the book! Not a bad read all around.
