I first caght a movie based on this novel on a late-night local channel and decided to give the book a look. What I found was drastcially different from the mild-mannered family film I watched.
This book is a captivating coming-of age-novel. Set in the 1950's American southwest, it's the story of a seven-year-old boy who loses his parents to a plane crash. The writing is simple yet offers great depitctions of southwestern landscapes. The protagonist is easy to identify with and the story is excitng and dark. It's a great, quick read for highschoolers and young adults.
(The movie is alright, too.)
