An Adventure For All Ages,
By Andrea Eskin (San Antonio, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nine Thousand Miles to Adventure (Paperback)
John Santacroce has written a wonderful book full of adventure, humor, and discovery. It's a page-turner for young readers as they share John's adventures growing up in the Philippines and learn something about historical events of the time. Younger baby boomers will also identify with the author's perspective of this era. Read this unique book and talk about it with your children! One of the many great features of this extremely well-written memoir is that it uses intelligent but conversational language, no profanity, and never "talks down" to its audience. It's loaded with an adventurous boy's observations and discoveries about a fascinating land. I guarantee this book will be a treasured addition to your library, and one that readers of all ages will enjoy!

I was there!,
By Gary McClellan (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nine Thousand Miles to Adventure (Paperback)
I am a contemporary of John's having been in the Philippines and at Clark AB during much of the same period he was. His stories are wonderful and very accurate in terms of relating what it was like being an American teen/pre-teen in the Philippines during that time frame.Highly recommended both for the stories as is and as a history of a soon-to-be forgotten period of time for American military dependents.
