A High Wind in Jamaica

We all know that children aren't like adults. Immature people (children, that is) are really a subspecies. It is a rare writer who can remember (and recreate) what the world looks like to children. IMHO, A High Wind in Jamaica is the best of the few good books written from a child's POV.
(Ducks head. No, really, it is better than The Lord of the Flies.)
