Montgomery's story is a compelling one. Her characters, especially the effervescent and infinitely hopeful Rene and her best friend, James, are marvelous, finely detailed and very much alive. The plot blends history with a particularly poignant coming of age story. While this is geared toward children and preteens, I wouldn't hesitate recommending it for high school students and adults. Rene's story is too important for us all not to know about it. I Want to Go! is most highly recommended. Jack Magnus Review Rating: 5 Stars - Congratulations on your 5-star review!
