This story is compelling, gripping - all those kinds of words. Even though you figure things out before the five-year old narrator does, by the time you and he finally agree about the situation he is in, you are completely hanging onto the edge of your seat, reading page after page at a furious pace in order to see what he will do with his information. It made a unique situation seem extremely realistic and it leaves you with a sense of completeness. You come full circle. My words cannot describe the beauty of this story.
