Loved this book!
This might not be the most helpful review, as I really don't think I can articulate why I loved this book so much - I just did. Maybe due to its setting in a simpler time (early 1960's), in a small town (in Minnesota) - it almost made me wistful. While the story itself is terrific, the author did such a wonderful job telling it from a young boy's point of view, and I felt like I was right there with Frank Drum. I just so appreciated the messages in this book as well. I can tell you that it's been a long time since I was sad to see a book end, but that definitely happened with Ordinary Grace.
Again, not a super helpful review, but just wanted to put my 5 stars out there. So very well done, Mr. Krueger.
