Rating: Summary: This is truly the most touching book I have ever read. Review: I teach ninth grade literature. After reading this book, I let a few students read it. They loved it so much that I now require it for all my students. It is wonderful to hear the students talk about their love for the book. I have many students admit that this is the first book that they have read from cover to cover. I can not read ten pages from anywhere in the book and not cry. Any book that touches the heart of a thirteen year old boy is a must read book for all.
Rating: Summary: This is by far the best book I have ever read Review: This heart wrenching autobiography of a boy's journey to find a place for himself and the things that he realizes along the way is incredible.

Rating: Summary: Total inspirational, touching, heartwrenching, fabulous book Review: I loved this book beyond words. I can't say one bad thing about this auto-biography. The fact that it is a true story rips your hear out. You will cry for this child and just want to hold him and tell him everything will be ok. I laughed and cried like everyone else. There were times when I couldn't put the book down and there were time when I had to because I could read through my tears. Never pass this book by.
Rating: Summary: Very inspirational! Review: My sister's teacher read this book to her class when she was in grade five. Every day she would come home and we would rush off to her room where she would tell me what had happened that chapter. I hung on every word. Several years later I remembered the book very vividly and ordered it from a bookstore. It was just as wonderful as it had been when recited to me all those years before! I bought my sister a copy, and one for myself. Since then I have had to buy several more copies because everyone who "borrows it" seems to have a hard time returning it!My sister and I experienced some terrible things as children and the story of Jenning's struggles gave me the strenth to get through some of the worst of it. I am so glad that I was able to share your story back then, when it was so strength rendering for me. I am now in my mid-twenties and still am inspired by this wonderful book.
