COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent and still relevant submitted by pk on July 23, 2013, 6:56pm Highly recommend this book. A boy wakes up, injured, unable to remember who he is. He doesn't understand the language of the people he meets, but he quickly learns it. The farm family that helps him doesn't understand him, either. What kind of fabric are his clothes made of? Why does he claim he can understand animal's thoughts? And how can he run so incredibly fast? Just exactly WHO is this boy? Everyone wants to know. And some automatically don't like him. As he rediscovers his identity, his adopted family works hard to keep him safe and get him back to his own family.

Though parts of this book feel a little heavy handed with the message, the main theme of accepting people as they are and not being afraid of those who are different is still relevant today.
