We bought three books in preparation for a trip to Cambodia with our kids ages 10 and 12. My kids didn't like Little Brother, thought the writing was poor. I would recommend instead, Mingfong Ho's Stone Goddess for a much better quality book and a more believable plot, especially if you are trying to read a YA fiction book to help you get ready for travelling to Cambodia.

I did not like this book much.
I think it started with a good enough idea then it slowly got worse as the book progressed.

Allan Baille does more than tell a good story in this grippingnovel about a young Kampuchean boy who gets seperated from his brotherMang during the Pol Pot Regime in Cambodia. It shows human kindness at its full potential. Baille introduces a number of characters simply for the purpose of the scene Vithy (the young boy) is in. If you are looking for an incredibly descriptive read then i suggest you look else where. This book is best read by the younger generation.

I thought it was a great story . It was a good example of brotherly love . I enjoyed how Vithy had so much courage and never gave up looking for Mang. I also think Vithy really showed kindness to other people, by helping Saro . Over all I think any one who enjoys reading shold read " Little Brother"!!!

Wonderful! This is a book about a young boy who doesn't feel very brave but he discovers a courage within himself that he never knew existed as he travels through Cambodia. This book is highly recommended not only to preteens, but to anyone trying to find their own courage.
