Review

Louis Braille was five years old when he lost his sight. Even in a blind school in Paris, there were no books for Louis. And then Dr. Pignier explained a French Army captain invented a code to send secret messages during the war. "The code was read by touch." Luise now had a way to read! The illustrations are awesome, when Louis is in his own world the pictures are black and white sketches .When he is in the real world they are water color and pen and inks. This is a great book for all ages.

Overall Book Score: very good
