Wonderful book
Okay - so I'm 27 and why am I reading a book for a grade-school-er? First, I love to read and particularly love fiction that 1) is clean (I can't stand modern adult fiction that includes filthy language and inappropriate descriptions) and 2) teaches a good lesson wrapped up in an engaging story. I saw a review of this book in a homeschool catalogue and figured I couldn't go wrong for the price. It was a first-class find! I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and the lesson is timeless. I recommend it -- not only to those still in school, for which it was written, but for anybody who needs a bit of encouragement to "keep hoping".
