This was a fun, easy read about an orphaned boy who goes through many challenges to find who he thinks could be his family. Through it all he was resilient and positive.

This is such a sweet and sad book. I remember my third grade teacher, Mrs. Dempsey, reading it to my class. I didn’t pick up on a lot of historical significance then. I’m glad I reread it.

Love this! Wish I would have read this when I was in middle school.I listened to the audiobook which I reccomend. This book made me feel similar to when I read Roll of thunder, Hear my cry. That book changed everything for me.

Loved and laughed!! Another selection that I read along with my 5th graders. We learned a lot, and loved the visual storytelling. This was excellent on audio.
