Though it be but little it is fierce, is a good description for this book. It isn't lengthy, it moves at a rapid pace and it doesn't provide flowery detail or tons of verbage. This story is short and to the point. Initially I wondered how much impact such a short book, with such forthright language,...
An absolutely beautiful story that brought tears to my eyes. Outstanding. I'm so happy to see this listed as a Battle of the Books read in my community, as I think this is an excellent read for all ages.
I feel this is the younger version of What is the What by Dave Eggers. The switching narratives were great to hold the attention span of middle school children and the cliff-hangers are sure to be nerve-wracking.
Amazing book! The way the two separate stories combine at the end brought years to my eyes. There are so many insights into the human spirit to be deemed from this book.
Great book for our 7th graders to read as part of their world cultures studies.
