review 1: I think this would be a great read aloud for maybe 3-5th Grade. It's a quick read with short chapters and a lot of thought provoking material. The story revolves around a childless couple who randomly discover a boy sleeping on their front porch. The boy doesn't speak but has a note instructing the couple to take care of him. The book has a lot of mystery in it revolving around who this mysterious boy is and where he came from. The ending is sweet and heartfelt and can really bring home the idea of family extending beyond your immediate blood relations.
review 2: I read a brief review of this book, and was intrigued. I can’t believe I missed it. It’s short, and a story that keeps the pages turning until finished. Really, until almost the end, there are on... morely three characters, the boy, and a couple who live in a modest farm home with a dog, a few goats, and a couple of cows. I don’t want to give away anything, but urge everyone to read it. You will be surprised less
