It was good--would like to see the movie. I agree with the review that I read that said the last line didn't go well with the book. ...more

This is one that I think my son would enjoy. Oh, wait, he read it with his literature circle last week and said he did like it! Amazing.

This is a unique story that offers many cultural and social situations to consider and discuss. It's a great read aloud for middle grade. ...more
