Logan fell in love with this book and wanted to take it to his T-K class to tell people about Gandhi. He liked saying "Mahatma" and learning that his name meant "Great Soul." This was an example to me that kids really embrace genres outside of standard fiction.

The connection among most of the people was a deep respect for all people and life.
