    • Trivia
      Based on the book by Watt Key.
    • Goofs
      At the end of the movie, Moon lights a fire out by the woods to send smoke letters to Kit and Pap. At the end Uncle Mike and Moon walk away without putting the fire out. Moon's character wouldn't do that.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Moon Blake: Just before Pap died, he told me that I'd be fine as long as I never depended on anybody but myself. I made Pap's grave just like he done Mama's. All I'd have to remember her face was one picture Pap kept, but I can remember her in the bed at night, keeping me warm from the other side.

    Good family entertainment!
    A movie perfect for family night entertainment. A nothing to worry about film as far as appropriate for children or adults. Which is to me a welcome breath of fresh air in movie watching. Good acting, an imaginative plot snd although it has twists and turns - ii would classify it ultimately as uplifting - I enjoyed the movie.
