I just gotta love Sonlight. This homeschool curriculum has provided me with a lot of great books to read over the past month. The only problem is that they're very quick to finish and so I have to write more reviews. Anyway, this is a good one, worth checking out. It's a slightly modified true story about an American who stumbles upon a secluded Arabian village. He interacts with the people, especially a boy named Ali, and ends up connecting them with the 20th Century. Interwoven with this tale is Ali's coming of age. It's an interesting tale, though sometimes I had to wonder how much rewriting Mr. Grover did to create this novel.
