 "The boys had seized the cave, and in it they'd found a home away from Welton, away from parents, teachers, and friends - a place where they could be people they never dreamed they'd be."

Although this was basically a transcript from the movie, it still managed to be touching and as beautiful as the picture. However, I was hoping that the book would maybe add a bit more to the book, such as describe more of the boys' feelings. Despite that, it was a great read, I'm just sad it was very short.
