This book was a classic in my house and will be one that I'll reread from time to time. It isn't complicated, but tells the story of two young boys and their connection to each other and to the past. Entertaining and enjoyable. Nothing to fawn over, but just a good, enjoyable read.

Would recommend to any young adult fiction fans.
Funny and witty at times, a well written and well thought out novel.

Súper cute book although the premise of a child labor camp is kind of nuts. But just go with it. I love the structure and the protagonists are (mostly) pretty likable.

Would definitely recommend to a young person.

Plot's a bit all over the place. Some characters don't really make sense.

I saw the movie first so it ruined the surprises in the book. But it was a fun quick story that made my day.

The way everything came together at the end gave me the same sense of wonder as the ending of A Prayer For Owen Meany did.

A great young adult novel. Cleverly and wittily written.

Good book for young audiences. Fast paced, super quick read and interesting throughout the whole story.
The ending is kind of the thing I didn't enjoy, seemed quite predictable and showed an extremely easy solution to the plot, which shows that it's a children's book.

I don't think it's “funny”, I think it's wonderful :-)
