5.0 out of 5 stars a student from Germany..., 22 May 2001
By A Customer
when I heard that we were supposed to read again s.th. for my english-lesson.. my first reaction wasn't very cheerfully.. but lateron, I was happy to read this book and now I can kind of understand how a street child might feel or live... you can read this book for yourself as well you can use it for school.. you'll see school can be fun, too..
