Ordered this book for my 10 year old grandson. I read it a few years ago with 4th students before I retired. Lots of life lessons as this young boys writes to a trucker.

Great book to read with my 4th graders before I retired from teaching. It really got boys reading who did not read a lot before! Now I hope to share it with my grandson.

I enjoyed reading this book to 4th graders before I retired from teaching. I requested this book for my grandson who is now in 4th grade. He was excited to see that I had it when he came to visit for a weekend. He was reading it in his class at school. He was thrilled to have it here so he could read ahead of his class.... and stayed up late to read about 30 pages ahead! It is good stories like this.... that has encouraged him to keep reading!

This short book told a story that went on forever about the truths of the Holocaust. It reminded me that no matter how long ago this horror took place we should always be on "the watch" for such events and inhumane treatment of mankind. How this young man was able to survive and recall these horrendous times is almost beyond comprehension. Hard to read at times...yet hard not to read, hoping and praying that the end would finally come to all the suffering!

I only have about 30 pages to finish the book, but was interrupted by Christmas preparations and minor accident. I felt the book was pretty depressing especially in the times we are living in right now. It did make me feel that how much better off we are today than the people in that place and time period. I would recommend it but be prepared for some sad and parts that are almost difficult to get through. It is still well-written but makes you reflect how far we have come and how we need to continue to strive to avoid anything like this in the future of our world!

I have read this book in the past when I would share it with my fourth grade students. I am now retired and want to share it with my grandson. I thought it was a great story...funny at times, but thought provoking. It helps a young boy face some realities of life.
