Lots of problems with this book, which were easy to see now that I’m older. Fascinating to see so clearly how a book can be both abolitionist and also racist.

But still so much greatness as well—humor, adventure, and an unparalleled ability to take a kid’s perspective.
Looking forward to reading James!!
