review 1: This is a great middle grade-young adult novel. Some of the characters are a little extreme, but I understand that that would be necessary to show the contrast and the message that the novel is trying to convey. I really loved how Alexandria grew throughout this story. It was very believable, because it really wasn't that extreme. Her eyes were opened, but she didn't become a completely new person.This is a very interesting, scope widening novel. I first read this as a child and was certainly culture shocked. I would diffidently recommend reading this, young or old(though it would be more effective young), this is a fantastic story of growth and compassion.
review 2: It was a really good book and the program reminded me of Free the Children. In the story, a wea... morelthy teen named Alexandria is arrested for her second time shoplifting, and instead of spending time in juvenile detention, she is instead sent to Kenya to help build a school, and on the way she makes a good friend and saves that friends mother and baby sister. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read. less
