As an older person reading a young people's book, I found this book to be very emotionally deep and thought provoking! The book is somewhat biographical as the author is relating a true life tale - and it does seem real! It deals with the pain of rejection, the importance of family and roots within the context of a great adventure!

If you want a book to read with your child or a group, this one will be a launching pad for great discussions about rejection, bullying and how to deal with peer pressure!… (más)
