Customer Reviews

A moving tale of adventure, heartbreak and hope - for kids.

I read this book in school as a child (well, I'm only 17 now, not exactly old) and I was permanantly at least 10 pages ahead of the teacher so impatient was I to continue with the story. The novel follows a group of families as they make their way to the promised land, fighting attacks from animals, illness, obstacles in their path, but like all good stories the ending is a happy one. There are bits when the reader will laugh, those when a tear may venture out over his or her cheek, but always will the reader be anxious to see what's on the next page. A great novel, highly recommended.
