Review Detail

Some books come to us at the right time when we need to read the sweet life lessons and small things that remind us what is worth paying attention to in our lives.

This wonderful middle-grade novel is one of those, with so many amazing paragraphs that become wise quotes to any age, not just young readers, for they are filled with wisdom and kindness. A simple gesture of returning lost socks becomes a journey through a community in the great busy city of New York where we are reminded of so many cultures, knowledge, experiences, and wonderful people. A tale of family, friendship, city people, and living with prejudice, social pressure, and even sometimes racism.
