"Although it took me awhile to get hooked into this book, I did enjoy the story once things started to happen at the farm. I liked Park and his vivid imagination about being a knight. Would students have enough background knowledge to understand the references that Park makes to King Arthur and his knights? The story can be understood without this knowledge, but it gives much insight into Park's character. This book deals beautifully with what may be considered a sore part of our nation's history. Reading this book while studying this history would definitely add a personal touch to history, something that always seemed to be missing when I studied this subject in school. I wonder how Vietnamese or Vietnamese-Americans would take this book. What would they think about the way the author handles the accent of Thanh? I think students would enjoy Park's story and will be better able to relate to and understand history and how it affects people."
