Engrossed!

Engrossed is the only possible description for my boys when reading this book. The chapters are short enough to keep a reluctant reader going, the black & white illustrations add to the story. Myers' historic notes at the end add value to a well disguised history lesson. My boys are ages 13 and 12.
