About the book

• This book is about a hobo named Armand who
  meets a couple of kids. At first he uses the kids
  for only money and starts out not liking them. He
  also used them to get money by making them do
  tricks on the street. He started to be kind of
  mean to them and then nice. He lets the homeless
  children stay with him under the bridge. He
  provides food for them every night and the dog,
  Jo Jo.
• One day Armand took them to look around Paris.
  When Armand and the kids were walking around
  Paris he introduced them to a gypsy, named
  Mireli. Mireli took them to a gypsy camp to give
  them a place to stay.
• They stayed at the camp until Armand got a job
  and moved in with Madame Calcet and the children
  in a real home. Armand is now a Caretaker. Armand
  takes care of the place by checking the mail and
  cleaning up.

Recommendation

• I recommend this book because it was
  interesting because I had never read a book about
  a homeless family before. It was, also,
  interesting because there were different
  characters and they all had their own ways of
  being nice or mean, like Armand. He was mean in
  the beginning of the book and started to be nicer
  to the children once he realized they were
  homeless. He decided to live with the children
  and take care of them every day. He provided a
  house to live in and food.
