"This book is about an orphan boy who goes on a field trip with his class to Ellis Island. HE doesn't know any of his ancestors and feels bad when everyone is showing each others theres. She when he hides in the closet and falls asleep he wakes up and somehow ends up in Italy in 1908!
I can make a text to MOVIE connection when a boy gets locked in a museum and cant get out so he explores the museum and finds out stories about the history of the world.
I would rate this book a 3 because it was a good boy because I think I've read better. I think it would be good if you like reading about history and how different parts of the world especially Italy came to be."
"Genre: Fiction/Nonfiction Reading Level: grades 3-6 Classroom Uses: independent reading, guiding reading, read-aloud Topic/Theme: time-travel, belongingness, independence, freedom, perseverance Summary: Dominic is a young boy in foster care who attends a field trip wiht his 5th grade class to Ellis Island. After much confusion, Dominic is left behind on the island. While exploring the museum at night, he listens to the recordings of various immigrants and wonders about his own heritage. After fallign asleep, he dreams that he has travelled through time to a small town in Italy. There, a family adopts him and he accompanies them on their journey to America. When he wakes the next morning, he realizes that the family from his dream may have been part of his ancestry. Social Issues: This book deals with the delicate issue of a nonexistent family. Many children from broken homes may be touched by this character's story. It also deals heavily with the history of immigration to America."
"This book was amazing! Though I read it in one night , it was really entertaining. I cried at one time with Salvatore.... but the majority of the book was positive and the ending was happy but wasn't stereotypical. It was very original and I would recommend it to anyone!"
