"Linda asked that morning what it was about Charlotteâ€™s Web that Ally particularly liked; maybe it would help to think about that, since it was Allyâ€™s model book. â€œI like the family that comes together in the barn,â€ Ally said without hesitation. â€œI like that they arenâ€™t all the same thing; one is human and oneâ€™s a spider and oneâ€™s a pig. I like that it has nothing to do with blood relations, and everything to do with love."
