This book was written in an interesting style of writing but the plot was too boring for me.

Good story, though I recommend it for children and very young adults.
I've heard about this author so many times before; especially his novel 'Things Fall Apart'. I might read that some time later.

Rushes to the end a bit with a lack of impact but definitely a worthwhile read that's similar to Steinbeck's short works about discovering the world, such as The Red Pony.

This was a fast and easy read. Very full of obvious moral lessons, but it’s a children’s book. I don’t really have much else to say about it lol

for very young audiences, kinda just describes events and stuff, lots of morals, etc - hard to rate cuz its totally not meant for readers my age?
