Full disclosure. The author is a friend of mine. I can still give an honest review because I loved it! (She is not the only author with whom I am friends, and if I don't enjoy a friend's book, I don't review it.)
My eight year old daughter and I read this book together and she cried at the end because it was over. Sam's adventures are fast-paced and move along in an ordered way. Sam is very likable and relatable for kids. There is humor sprinkled throughout the book, and my daughter and I often laughed out loud. Some sensitive children may be bothered by the hardships and losses Sam faces, but the happy ending feels satisfying. Excellent story-telling with wonderful characters. I recommend this book.
