(2) 4-6 Describing the events that changed him from a boy of ten to a man of eleven is the central theme of an ingenuous first-person narrative dealing with the (Hungarian) immigrant experience in the years between the two World Wars. There is no grand scheme here, no breathtaking adventure, only a gentle slice-of-life story that insinuates itself into the heart.
Reviewer: Mary M. Burns | Horn Book Magazine Issue: November, 1999
