This book is about a boy who went to stay with his grandparents after his mother died and his father was sent to fight in the war. He was smart but one flaw he had is that he had a wondering mind that would one day lead him into trouble.
One of the things that I like about the book was, the ending because of the action, it was thrilling and fun to read. I overall think that the ending was written well. It was different from the other parts of the book, more fast paced. One thing that I wish for, is that it drew my attention sooner than at the end of the book. The book was hard to get into and the characters, there wasn't one that I like more than the other. It was hard to care about the main character because I couldn't relate to him at all.
