I don't recall when I read this (probably around 6th grade). But I am surprised at how much I recall: the value of paper, the surprise of bananas, and at that age I was, a little surprised why her being bald, or the possibility of not ‘finding a husband' was so bad.
I recall it beng well written and caring about the characters.
