Review
A touching tale of a young boy's battle to save his debt ridden family and prevent his mother going to prison because she is unable to pay.
Jeremy is an interesting character and through his eyes we are treated to a marvelous view of Paris through the seasons.
The story is engaging and entertaining. It is an easy read which has elements of danger to keep it interesting and a variety of minor characters that Jeremy interacts with to maintain that interest.
Some nice twists along the way and the ending is an unexpected emotional payoff for multiple reasons
