This book will open children’s eyes up to a life where a child doesn’t have wants because needs alone are such a struggle to fill. The concepts of work and money are made concrete when the reader sees how desperate Jago is without money and how resourceful he must be just to find a way to eat one meal a day. The book also exemplifies how a child can learn from observation to hone his own skills and talents in order to support himself.
Although the length of this book might seem intimidating to young readers, the short chapters, vibrant characters, fast-paced narrative, and intriguing plot will hold children’s attention for the long haul.
