I read this book to my son because it was an adventure-type story. I loved it more than he did! It is a quick read - you don't want to put it down. The story is full of emotion and is a good way to pique a child's interest in Japanese history and culture as well. Simple and beautiful.
The Postscript leads one to believe it is a true story, but it is not.
