A great story about connections and how our lives are affected by our ancestors, ourselves and who we help and who we let help us. Great children's book and even better than the movie.

Better than the movie. This book held my interest. I thought it wouldn't because its basically a young adult book (I'm no longer a young adult). I enjoyed reading this book.

Excellent book. My 10 year old son and i both really enjoyed this story about a boy stuck somewhat irrationally in a terrible circumstance. He finds eventually that there is a reason for everything. Really a great story.

I got this book for my daughter, who is in 6th grade - it was required reading for her language arts class. Her comments: It is a very good book. All the characters are very funny. The ending was surprising. I think others kids would like it, too.
