An excellent book with suspense, drama, action, and human interest. An unusual approach to truth, honesty, compassion, and true friendship. The journey that the main characters take to find themselves and where they fit in this world is conscious grabbing and thought provoking. I read this book in the late 70's for a report in Jr. high. I loved it then and now. I've just recently re-read it. It is a keeper! Definitely one to read and re-read over and over again. Few books and/or movies have that appeal. You won't grow tired of it!
