This was an interesting book, but no one I think kids will read again and again. It’s about Gustav, a young boy who is new to America. He and his mother can not find Papa, so mama takes a job. One day while trying to stay out of trouble, he catches not only a thief but the eye of a silent movie director. His first movie helps lead papa back to his family. The story is set up like a silent movie. Each part of of the story being set up frame by frame. A heartfelt story, but a one time read.
