  10. The end • This book is a classic in Poland, as it should be. It's witty, clever, and has an incredibly solid moral backbone. Not really a good vs. evil kind of story (the bad guys are to be sympathized with and well, there is the French guy), but the kind of story that carries a message of friendship, honesty, solidarity and bravery.’ Goodreads user Thank you for your attention Created by 1 MYP, Poland for LIFES ‘
