Customer Reviews

Kids need a hero; Killingsworth delivers.

Although some reviewers here appear quick to dismiss this book, nevertheless it is a valuable one for its target audience. In the long run, what is more important than a troubled kid finding an adult hero/mentor to teach him about values and what is truly worth fighting for, in this case a sacred stretch of land. Far from being "overwrought" as one reviewer stated, Killingsworth's words reflect the passion and commitment kids -- and the world in general -- need a lot more of. This book is strongly recommended.
