What educators are saying

This was PERFECT for my end of the year Novel Studies for my 3rd graders. It was a little challenging, but not too hard. Exactly what I was looking for.
We read this book during summer school and the kids loved it! The chapter by chaper activities were enough to know what the kids know, but not too much to be over bearing. Great resource that I will definitely use again!
