- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5this book was quite powerful for such a tiny package, it certainly reminded me to commune with nature (my faith is nature based). The plot is almost entirely predictable without being at all dull, and, most important of all; it felt like I was reading something a twelve year-old wrote! this is important since it is the story of two twelve year old boys and their week from hell before they get baptized.
