Review: This book SUCKED!!!!!!It's sooooooooo boring. It's so bad that I have already reviewed it but I feel the need to do it again. It's that bad!! Please believe me when I say DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!! I am the only sane one that has reviewed it so far as you can clearly observe above in fact I think that that was the author himself disguised as one of his readers just to scam people into buying his book. Take my advice...this book will make you want to hurl.

Summary: My favorite book as a child.
Review: Many years ago, a teacher read this book to my fifth grade class. I loved it so much, I read again on my own in 7th grade. I'm now 34 and came looking for it again - to share with my nieces and nephews. It's one of the best books ever written about the triumph of the human spirit.

Summary: My at-risk students really got into this book!
Review: A few years ago I taught developmental reading to 8th-graders. Most of them were kids from low-income homes and had developed an "attitude" about their lack of reading skills. I searched for a book that might speak to them about their own issues: single-parent homes, discrimination, daily struggle, etc. In "Banner in the Sky" by James Ramsey Ullman, I found what I was looking for. Even though this book was somewhat beyond their reading level, they soon became so absorbed in Rudi's life that they were using the dictionary on their own to find words that they didn't understand.All too often, the families of these students don't show up at school for Open House Night. That year, my students built the Citadel from crumpled, painted newspapers in the center of our room. It was constructed on top of an old dining table I had bought at Goodwill Industries for $5 and stood 4 feet above the table. The detail was wonderful where they created the "needle" and cravass, the cave, the ghost, and even a red shirt made of felt as the banner. They were so excited and proud of what they had done that most of them came and brought family members to see it. This book was such an inspiration to my students because it showed them that other people in other parts of the world in other times than now struggled with the same issues that many of them were facing. The courage that Ullman portrays through Rudi gave them some of their own. I would highly recommend this book to people of all ages who want to experience the thrill of adventure and a lesson in courage.
