Great!

Wonderful! This is a book about a young boy who doesn't feel very brave but he discovers a courage within himself that he never knew existed as he travels through Cambodia. This book is highly recommended not only to preteens, but to anyone trying to find their own courage.

VERY GOOD READ

Allan Baille does more than tell a good story in this grippingnovel about a young Kampuchean boy who gets seperated from his brotherMang during the Pol Pot Regime in Cambodia. It shows human kindness at its full potential. Baille introduces a number of characters simply for the purpose of the scene Vithy (the young boy) is in. If you are looking for an incredibly descriptive read then i suggest you look else where. This book is best read by the younger generation.

It was a great book about courage and commitment.

I thought it was a great story . It was a good example of brotherly love . I enjoyed how Vithy had so much courage and never gave up looking for Mang. I also think Vithy really showed kindness to other people, by helping Saro . Over all I think any one who enjoys reading shold read " Little Brother"!!!
