3.5 stars

I enjoyed this one - Logan and his family have to deal with several difficult challenges but the stakes just don't feel like they are real. There's 'threats' but I don't really take them seriously. Logan has the golden touch and it shows.

There never seem to be enough good early chapter book series to rec to kids who don't want to read yet another Magic Tree House book. This one was a good story paired with great illustrations. Kids who like historical fiction will enjoy this.
