Title: For 10 year Olds, Great Novel... But...
Review: Highschool english teachers take Note: I'm in Highschool, and am forced to read this against my Will, and The story may be fine, but doesnt help the students strive for "higher order thinking" like you want us to. This book is a fine adventure, but for making someone opening their eyes to a real-world dilemna through fiction, there is nothing to be shown. It is just the typical Good versus Evil that is overly stereotypical. I would reccomend this for a reader in about the 4th - 6th grade, and even in 6th grade it's pushing it. Make them read 1984, or Animal Farm, Brave New World, or A Clockwork Orange, even The Giver has it's merits. Don't make the Youth a bunch of boors.
