review 2: I found this book to be a joy to read. I liked the way the story starts from Patrick's point of view of meeting his grandfather for the first time. The reader is immediately drawn to the sad boy and his observations. The story progresses and the emotions and sympathy for Patrick grow. His harsh, gruff grandfather's attitude is offset by Mrs. Fortini who senses the boy's fear and sadness at losing his mother. She stands between the grandfather and the boy as their guide through this rough adjustment period.As a blizzard blows into town the situation becomes more potent and the reader is sucked into the boy's plight and the choice he made to run away. The heart of the reader is torn as events at home unfold and the tough exterior of grandfather is ripped away. He fears for the safety of Patrick and realizes he is all the family he has. Will they be able to find Patrick before the cold gets to the little boy? Sometimes all the money you have won't keep you warm if you have no family. less
