A moving tale of the harrowing experiences of a young boy.
The writing style is too simplistic for my liking.

This was a really great book! I'm not a huge fan of memoirs, but this one was very touching and inspiring.

This was my book pick on this ‘books with movies’ season of Book Interrupted. This is an amazing true story of a 5 year old in India that got caught on a train and ultimately got lost. He got adopted by a family in Australia and then 25 years later because of Google Earth was able to find home again. This is an incredible story with an unbelievably happy ending. The book was slow in places and the movie changed some things but I enjoyed both. 

Check out what everyone said here on the podcast and how an interesting fact about the book revealed at the beginning of the podcast changes thoughts and opinions about how the book.
