Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-18 00:00:00 Gary Stavropoulos i've read this book twice aloud for my students, aged 12-13. Both times it left a lasting impact. It's a story that teaches hard lessons through seemingly meaningless incidents. The book creates good opportunities for discussion on choices and decisions and their effect our our own lives and those of others. I liked the fact that the book is easy to read, almost naive at times: this way it's not too hard for young readers to follow even the deeper themes.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-10-21 00:00:00 Angela McConville Another thrift shop find for 20p.. I found it in the young adult/childrens section and knew I had to have it from reading the blurb.. Three time award winning book.. i can definitely see why as I was captivated from the first page. At only 212 pages in length it is relatively short but it gives just enough detail at the same time.. There is definitely a few side stories within the book, Howie's and Jeff's are interesting as is Grandma Dell's but the main story of the 4 boys is beautiful although tragic.. i would recommend this book but not for children as it was written.. some of the events are definitely more suited to a more mature audience.
