      This book is good but it's not for children. Loved it
    • 4/5
      Thank you, friend 'smalls,' for recommending this. I'm so glad I finally got around to reading it. Perfect for male reluctant readers age 10-13, great for everyone else. Would be great for family or classroom discussion.

      Yes, it's about what it means to be a true friend. It's also about courage. Almost everyone in the book acts courageously at one time or another. And the few that don't, well, they show us the consequences of cowardice.
    • 4/5
      Awesome and funny at most parts example of a great friendship
    • 4/5
      Slim and powerful, describing a rambunctious joy in a rural summer. The boy's display a loose-limbed exuberance, and the suspicious, slightly hostile, slightly conspiratorial relationship between the boys and their sisters is hilarious and spot-on. The tragic turns feel authentic and not overly-dramatized.
    • 4/5
      Touching book that made me cry at the end.
    • 5/5
      Very good.IT IS ALSO FUNNY.THE END IS SAD.
