Book Review

What an enjoyable book to recommend for any age. This is fantastic and a fast read for students in the third through the sixth grade. Anyone who enjoys adventure will love reading this book. I recommend asking your teacher if this series can be used for extra credit. Start reading 35 pages or more each day and the book should be finished remarkably quickly.
