wonderful book

Personalay I enjoyed this book to me it was very touching. The young boy, Ty, is nice and wants the best for his mom. Even if it means spending the rest of his life in a kingdom where shing and child play is a sinful. Children who are sick must still work in the fields or for the girls doing the kingdom's landray. Ty finds himself in a tough sution and won't give up. This story gave me the fealing of many scared childern'sbravy to surive in this world to wich their parents brougth them.I think you should read this wonderful book and learn of childern's fatith t live.(Kids in 7th grade, like me will love this story!!!!!:)!!!!!!!)My real name is jumping julie the kangaroo from pluto!!!!!!

A Great...not Good...but Great Courage

This book, A Good Courage, was very,very good. Stephanie S. Tolan has written extremely well about the life of Ty in the Kingdom of Yahweh. She is probably very knowledgeable about religion and has potrayed what religion can not be... slavery...of kids. If anything, this book had a few complex ideas, and only 10 and above can read this book. That is the only reason I did not rate it 5 stars. This book, again was very, very good, and I would recommend it to children over 10.
