A wonderful adventure story with a good flow of tension from many areas of Phillip’s life. Phillip’s change is gradual which makes it believable. The author does a great job of depicting the racial tensions at the time. The author does a great job of using descriptive languate that allows reader to experience all the sensations of all the locations of the book. The climax is gripping and full of detail yet the pacing isn’t slowed.
