I loved watching this movie as a kid! I could really relate to the kid that loved reading, and it was fun to watch because the film was shot where I grew up.

I won't give away any spoilers, but there is one part in the movie that was (and still is) super terrifying. It is a scene where the horse is drowning. The horse looks completely terrified, which in turn always terrifies me. But apart from that, I think that it is a great movie!
