Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

I fell in love with the characters in this book!!  I just finished this book today and was so sad I won't be spending my morning and evening reading time with them.  The story is told alternating between Eleanor's and Park's perspective. The book takes place in 1986 in Omaha, NE.  There is bullying, sibling rivalry, connections made through music, a scary mean stepdad.  Lots of books have these themes, but Rainbow Rowell presents it in a new, fresh and beautifully written way.  I just LOVED it!  I think 7th and 8th graders will like it also.
