Title: What is an orphan?
Review: The other reviews covered most of my reactions to this wonderful book, but I have a few things to add.One is on the nature of being an orphan: as traumatizing as it was for Danny to lose his parents [such as feeling his other relatives would disappear as well], he was better off than his cousin Matt, whose father was only sort of there & wasn't a good father at all.I also thought who I might have ended up living with had I become orphaned at that age. My parents' families were spread out over hundreds of miles & even those who lived in the same city lived far enough away that I wouldn't have still gone to the same school. Any child facing that would have a much worse time.
Is the review positive or negative?
