Double whammy. Good book. Good boy book. . .It’s a coming-of-age novel worthy of your time. –Treasure Chest for Tweens
This is a must read book!! If you like realistic fiction then you should definitely read this novel. –East Meadow Public Library YA Book Log, review by a middle school student
An excellent piece of historical fiction which helps people today to appreciate events that took place in the past. Written with humor, pathos, and a keen understanding of the times. -Through the Looking Glass Book Reviews
Great for boys. –YA Books Central
Felt like a well-done film where one can’t help but root for the hero. Although intended for young adults, anyone will find Hitch a great read. –Historical Novel SocietyNew York Public Library Book for the Teen AgeTexas Tayshas book listNational Endowment for the Humanities\/American Library Association We the People Bookshelf <\/p>\n
