Summary

Pros

[2]

Anne, who rated this book four stars, stated that the poor status of our protagonist reflects the true state of his people at that time. His desire to read and his excitement in learning demonstrates what reading meant to his people during his time in real life, although this is a fiction story. The story overall emphasizes reading as a treasure, which our poor, African protagonist greatly valued. Even though children may not understand it fully, the story can be used to encourage reading, viewing it as a privilege and a pleasure not to be taken for granted. Olivia Lavelle, who had different opinion, she thought that this book deserved because it was very touching book, she learned about the characters troubles and aspirations. The reader was also able to see Booker accomplish his goal and see him express his happiness through the pictures by Chris K. Soentpiet. After reading this book, it allowed her to open her eyes and notice that she took knowing how to read for granted. [1]
