A spectacular development that seems like a miracle
And then a major twist of fate!
Excerpts from book reviews in various newspapers

"Ah, that was interesting.It was the most interesting book my father ever recommended to me,'' said my son, a junior high school student. I was so moved by it that I read it again. What then? It turned out to be twice as delicious as my first impression.
??Yoshichi Imae (Yomiuri Shimbun)
How does a boy get through the circle of unsatisfied family members who are not good at it and find his own luck?
I read it all at once, and when I finished it I was convinced that this book won the National Book Award and the Newbery Medal. This is a heartwarming book that even adults will enjoy.
??Kayoko Ikeda (THE CARD)
The invisible threads of fate are intricately intertwined, and every negative card turns into the strongest positive card. The culmination is a big reversal and a happy ending. When I finished reading it, I burst into tears of joy along with all the characters and cheered, "We did it!''
It was the end of the story.
??Hiromi Kawakami (Yomiuri Shimbun)
It's a feel-good adventure story. Stanley is a dull boy, but inside he is not depressed. Even my friends at camp aren't giving up. Even though they are digging holes in the desolate desert, the boys, who are thick and fat, have something clear at their core.
