I enjoyed reading this book because I felt like many children may have problems like Abdul. In this book, the main character Abdul had to sell oranges in order to earn money to go back to school.In the beginning he was very impatient because his oranges weren't selling and his dream of going back to school was less likely to happen. I feel like many students who are struggling financially may relate to this book because they become frustrated that they don't have money or clothes such as other kids. I feel like this book teaches children to be patient and things will get better. Things definitely got better for Abdul when he finally raised enough money by the help of his father's money to go back to school. I think this book's message can apply to everyone whether they're young children or adults because financial hardship happens to many people. This book teaches its readers to not give up and to believe that things will get better.… (més)
