The book Duel is a great book. It’s actually pretty funny, sad, and one of those “it was all just a big misunderstanding” books - all together in one! It is a nice book because it looks like it could really happen anytime in the 1900's. I honestly thought it was in our century! It’s very well written. The thought that a twelve-year-old could become such good friends with a seventy-year-old is crazy to think about! I think David Grossman did an exceptional job with this book! by Ori, National Design Team
