There is a grown up version of it called Until Tuesday, and several YouTube videos (not suitable for kids because of guns and explosions) that show Luis talking about his experiences and what Tuesday means to him - very touching.Susanna Leonard Hillhttp://susannahill.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-34985273607660370042015-03-11T21:16:36.455-04:002015-03-11T21:16:36.455-04:00Ah, the advantages of living in Virginia :) Sprin...Ah, the advantages of living in Virginia :) Spring comes a wee bit sooner.

I can't even imagine. There's a part in the book where Luis has to ride on the subway, and that is very hard for him. The way he gets through it is just to hug Tuesday.
