Laskar Pelangi

Andrea Hirata was achieving something that I couldn't. He is telling his childhood story amazingly in a one-third biography, two-third fiction. I am too consider my childhood superb, but can not pour it into something readable like Andrea's first book of tetralogy, Laskar Pelangi.
I consider to give the book to young people, they who should dare to dream high, settle the goal and 'tancap gas' (what is the english for that by the way :D)
