In a world where you oftentimes find friendship with people who look like yourself, this is a wonderful book of love, friendship and grace where it's unexpected. Valerie Fraser Luesse writes in a distinct way that helps the reader to see how different and how alike people are no matter where they are live. Isaac exposed Pete to his world and therefore, Pete grew up accepting himself and others.
What a wonderful portrayal of how our world could be when we expose ourselves to people who are different than we are! I loved how Pete, along with the help of his grandfather, did not give up trying to find out what happened to Isaac, even though there were rumors abound to Isaac's whereabouts. It was also encouraging to see how many of the relationships in the book changed as a result of Pete's influence and that just goes to show how children see life purely.
