Response to Sometime I think I hear my Name

The book Sometimes I think I hear my Name was a page turning book that kept me guessing.  I felt compelled to relate to my life after really getting into the book.  Once I did understand and started take more interest in the book I felt that it really deals a lot with what most kids feel when they are upset or alone.  One part of the book made me so emotional because I thought of a time that I felt just like the character.  The section is when the main character's aunt couldn't find out where he was.  I was thinking about the time when my sister and I were cross country skiing together and my sister went so far ahead that I couldn't even see her any more.  I was so nervous I was going down the wrong trail that I just had to guess.  I thought that was kind of how the aunt felt.  Overall, I loved the novel and if I had to describe it in one word I would call it splendiferous!
