1 hour 24 minutes - Very hard to rate and review a book I read multiple times as a child, but an enjoyable read if only because of the nostalgia it brings. It is strange to read it now and compare it to how I viewed it as a child. Darrell, the main character, is a lot less perfect than I remember.The writing is engaging, if a little strange, but it was written for the children of the 1940s so that's to be expected.
