Review: Great book. - Great fun book for kids.
Review: This is a great book for boys or girls! - This story is as relevant and enjoyable when read today as it was when it was first released. I tried reading it to my son and daughter together but they are seven years apart and she was too young to enjoy it. My son finished reading it himself and he liked it very much. I bought this copy to give to my grandson for Valentine's Day but ended up giving it to him for Easter! Of course, I had to read it first and finally gave it to his mother to give to him. I will be curious to see what he thought of it. He's in seventh grade and may be too old for it but time will tell. I liked reading it again! A great book that teaches a lesson without the reader knowing it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Timeless Classic
*by J***E on July 16, 2022*

I loved this book when I first read it as a young child. The movie doesn't do the story justice. It's a timeless classic. A lot of kiddie lit is written from the point of view of a young girl. This book is is told from the point of view from a young boy's perspective. This boy exhibits empathy and understanding of the issues faced by someone else from a different race, culture and time period. His blind desire to help his friend brings about unintended consequences from modern weapons technology. At the same time celebrating modern advances in medicine. This book will suck you into another time and place. The main character is a positive male figure that young boys can identify with. It's a wonderful story about the power of friendship. I purchased this for a friend's son to encourage and develope a love of reading. This book belongs among classics like Stuart Little, Charlot's Web, Harry Potter, Little Women, The Wizard of Oz, Nancy Drew, Tales of the 4th Grade Nothing, Treasure Island and Mr. Poppin's Penguins. It's a sure winner.0
