This was a fantastic book to read with my brother. It talks about homelessness and the importance of family. Most of the book is centered around a family struggling to stick together in the streets of Paris, and a hobo named Armand taking them under his wing when they wormed their way into his heart.
Although this was one of my favorite books when I was younger I feel like there was something missing. I can't tell you what is, I guess I wanted more of the story.
Sort of sweet. Sort of cloying. I appreciated that the book didn't take a turn toward the end that might have ruined it: a little red herring with your croissant. Far, far too many oh la las.
