I inherited this little book from my Granny, when she was cleaning out her shelves. Last night I was bored and wanted something to read, so I picked it up. What a pleasant surprise! It's a heartwarming, quick, gripping classic that I finished by the end of the night. What I want to know is why it isn't more commonly read in high schools. And how I can find a copy of the 1963 movie starring Sydney Poitier, for which he won an Oscar.
