I am 37 years old and I read this book when I was only a young child. It opened up a whole new world for me, every time I opened the pages. Little Sam managed to fulfill all of my childhood dreams of adventure. He confronted every problem, that we ourselves would encounter, should we ever descide to follow in his footsteps. Strangly for a boy of his age, he even managed to include the importance of hygiene and the dangers of a bad diet. Through the years I have read hundreds of books, but this one I will hold dear to my heart forever. It has been as I said, many years since I read this book and I remember every detail as if it was only yesturday. I am now about to purchase this book again for my little boy to read(but not until I have read it again myself of course) and I know, with his natural craving for adventure, he will climb into the pages, one after the other and live the dream with Sam as I did.
An amazing book for any age to enjoy and I am over the moon to descover that Jean craighead George has actually graced us with a sequel. This book will also be going into my collection, as soon as I can get my hands on a copy.
Happy reading...
