A cute book, definitely feels "old"--or at least, not American. A boy carving with a knife? Kids walking to school alone in the dark? But the schoolyard meanness certainly rings true. (The wrong things have changed!)
My 4th grader's teacher is reading this to his class. He likes it, and told me I should read it too.
