a wonderful tale about a boy growing up and helping out a girl , young Maxwell kane..reminds me of some one i know who is mistaken the same way he is . which is just a gental giant . . who cares to much for others.

This book is so good i forgot I had basketball practice and kept reading until my parents told me I had practice. You cant stop reading because there is so much going on and there is always something interesting happening. This book is definitely worth 4 bucks because it took me like 4 hours to read it so it is definitely worth your money. It is my favorite book so far in 2019 and that says a lot cause i have read plenty of books so far in 2019. I don't know how the author can think of so many things to happen.
