Name All the Animals by Alison Smith

I am about 110 pages into Name All the Animals by Alison Smith, and so far I'm really enjoying it. Reading a book that takes place here is really cool, since I've never read anything with a setting of Rochester. Hearing names of streets and schools that I know makes me interested, and it's easier to imagine what's going on.
The character Alison is just like any other girl. She's very easy to relate to, since her feelings are so well written and explained. When Roy died, it was a little frustrating because they wouldn't come right out and say he died. It was obvious, but they wouldn't say it. You had to figure it out through their feelings and actions.
I'm excited to continue reading this novel, and to see what happens to Alison.
