Recensione:

In the tradition of “Three Cups of Tea” and “Mountains Beyond Mountains,” this book provides proof (there cannot be too much) of the value of volunteer work. (Los Angeles Times)

“With a light touch and refreshing candor, Grennan in Little Princes tells the story of how a good-looking University of Virginia grad with wanderlust ended up risking his life to find, then reunite, children with their families in Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world.” (USA Today)

“The beauty of this book is partly the fact that it is a memoir. But it is also more than that. I defy you to not be inspired or moved by this saga.” (New York Journal of Books)

“The author stumbles into volunteering in an orphanage in Nepal and gets involved in reuniting trafficked children with their families. The energy of these children will make you laugh even though they’ve been through hardship and loss.” (San Francisco Chronicle Book Review)

“While the story is amazing, sincere and touching, it is also a pleasure to see how the author grows, both in personality and style over the five years that the memoir covers.” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

“Grennan’s work is by turns self-pokingly humorous, exciting, and inspiring.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“‘Little Princes’ is a tale of determination, courage and love that will not leave you unchanged.” (Daytona Beach News)

“Funny, touching, tragic. Conor Grennan’s Little Princes is a remarkable tale of corruption, child trafficking and civil war in a far away land — and one man’s extraordinary quest to reunite lost Nepalese children with their parents.” (Neil White, author of In the Sanctuary of Outcasts)
