The Review of an Eleven Year Old

I thought that this was a very good book. It teaches young kids honesty and the meaning of freidship without it seeming like it. I think it is a great book for all those 10-14 year olds out there.

Very Good Book

I bought two copies of this book to read with my 11 y/o 5th grade son, to encourage him to read more and to check his comprehension. We both enjoyed the book. It was exciting enough to hold his attention with enough accurate details to allow me to check and also improve his comprehension. We highly recommend Matt Christopher books for young men.
