This book hit hard, and is so important for young and older readers alike! I think it was genius how the author wove history through this and how it all connected to Jerome. This is a book I will definitely have stocked in my classroom library!

This was a very powerful read!! It brought together two boys (of different times) who died too young, and the change that they bring to the living. The final words from Jerome were so emotional and moving - I 100% recommended this!
