I picked up this book looking to read a nice, sentimental Christmas story. It was a bit darker than I expected, but it didn't disappoint.

This deeply moving story is based on truth, and all the more powerful for that.
Our young character is hoping for a bicycle, but gets a sweater. As he tells the story of how the sweater came to be his, he begins by saying it is the one item he will never throw away.
As he reveals his story, we learn why. Powerfully written.

If you listen to Glenn Beck or read his book " inconceivable truth" (I think that is the title) you are used a sharp witted sarcastic sort of funny intelligence. This story is truly jusy innocent and straightforward. Nice twist , great life lesson book.. it reminded me of "five people you meet in heaven"

This was a well written book and I really liked it.
I really liked this story. I'm not sure if it's because it is a mostly truthful accounting of an event that he experienced or because of how he wrapped it up at the end, but I enjoyed the tale. It was a quick read and it has a nice message.

Eddie learns a lesson the hard way. he learns that what someone gives from the heart is more important than money. Great tragedy happens to him, but he suffers through it.
The writing is simple but the message is profound! 4 stars- what a great book to read as we enter the Christmas Season.
