I have always enjoyed this story. It was a wonderful read aloud when our children were young teens. Such a wonderful story of family pulling together when the chips are down. And making the most of the family you have. For how bad things get it has a triumphant finish.
This book is earmarked for children, however, it is in no way a juvenile read.The children who are the characters in this novel experience situations that an adult would confront, given the same set of circumstances, in their pursuit to find a home for themselves and keep their family together. There is the refreshing absence of dirty language and obscene material. I recommend the read for ages 10 and above.

I love the book. I like the adventure. I read this book at school and I wanted to finish it.
Loved it then, loved it now. Adventure, family, beautiful imagery... just a great story, beautifully written and perfect for kids and adults alike.
The story had me laughing, crying, and on the edge with anxiety... touching and dear! Narrator was superb!
