A great book. I read this to/with my students every year and they can‘t get enough. I really get into too acting out all the parts because I feel like that‘s the only way to do it right. An entertaining look at a family living in our nation during a very difficult time in our nation‘s history. Everyone should read this.

The best book that I have ever read for sure. I read it as a kid (Grade 4 or 5) and I instantly fell in love with it and finished it before the teacher had the chance to tell me to stop. I have since re-read it several times and have suggested it to several friends over the years. I have not been able to locate a book quite like the experience this book gave me as a young child. Suggestion necessary!
