This book reminds me of my escapades when I was growing up. I was a reserved child who preferred to play alone. My curiosity has made me wander the woods several times, looking for who knows what. So, I can easily relate to Billy Jack. Billy is a child who thinks differently than the norm. He likes to question the status quo, and this made him plan his evening escapes. After all, who forces a child to sleep when the sun is still up? His escape did not come hitch-free. There are many obstacles Billy will encounter on this little adventure: the rose bush, the dogs, the dog poops, and even his shadow. The question is, did he enjoy the goal of his escape plan? What are the lessons he learned from this journey? Take your time to find out in this book.
 
Firstly, what attracted me to this book is the fact that I have read two books in this series, and I love the writing style of the author. I wasn’t disappointed at all. My expectations were met, as the writing style did justice to my experience. I love the way the author describes each obstacle Billy meets on his way and his interactions with them. I followed his thought process well because I could easily relate to them. I also like the fact that there are pictures in the book, which helped me relate to how Billy looks and appreciates his person formally. The author did a great job by including the definition of difficult words in it. After all, this is a children's book, and the new words and their meanings will help them understand the book better.
 
There are many lessons to learn from the book. One of which is that what seems to be going on in your household may be a general practice in your neighborhood. Billy’s discovery when he got to the playground, where he expected to see others, emphasized this. Additionally, engaging in real-life playtime is preferable to becoming engrossed in video games. There is something that got me thinking: the author says if you don’t have a scar on your legs by age 10, then you don’t have an adventurous childhood (paraphrased). I think this is very true because I had so many scars on my legs that I could recount how I got them.
 
I found no errors in this book. It is filled with humor, and there are profound lessons to be garnered from it. Based on this, I will be rating the book 5 out of 5 stars. I absolutely found nothing to dislike in this book.
 
I will be recommending Stevie Tenderheart Books: Billy Jack (The Great Escape) by Steve William Laible to people who like to read adventure stories while relishing their childhood memories. I will also recommend it to children who like to read books on adventures, mischiefs, and imaginations with a lot of life lessons.
