1) Great adventure story -- If you have children, this book is for you. The second book in this series continues to prove how invaluable this story and its characters represent to the young readers. My grandchildren love the characters and how the story keeps them fully engaged. My oldest grandson will even put down his handheld game to listen to or read the story. This summer, I am making it a staple to read the next book and happily purchase the latest installments. Reading and enjoying the attentive looks on their faces is great.
