Customer Reviews

Ok, but simple writing

The book was ok. I expected better writing than the style used in The Magic Treehouse series, but the style and vocabulary were still very simple. My 8 year old was ok with it, but probably won't go back and read it again.

Perfect

My daughter loved this book. It was easy reading for a child to understand and kept her wanting more. She couldn't wait to read the second part after finishing this book!
