I really liked this book and it was about a boy going to different schools and his education. He became the prime minister of Singapore.

It taught me discipline and life back in the 20th century and made me know how he was educated and his childhood. I think that when he got his scholar ship it made him a good prime minister.
I rate this moving book 9.9/10

This book describes the childhood of Lee Kuan Yew who is the founder of Singapore. Harry was really lucky since he studied at Raffles institution. At Raffles he received good education so he could create a new country.
I would rate this book number five on a scale from one to ten because I’m not really interested in books about people’s life in a non-diary font. For example, diary font is used in the book “DIARY of a Wimpy Kid,” by Jeff Kinney.

This was a good book because it gives you information.My favourite character was Harry's mother because she stood Against her own husband to protect her own children.I enjoyed the middle because he continued getting a better a better grade.I wouldn't change anything is this book.I would reccomend this book to someone who wants to know a bit more about singapore.I would give this book 9/10 because I didn't like it when it said his dad was holding him by his ears over a well.
