Great story, dialogue and action in this one. The whole package. Highly recommended. Manning's a comic book writer and he really brings his skills to bear here. Reluctant Readers will be re-reading this one!

My five year old son loved it. His favorite part was the sound effects. He also enjoyed the illustrations, but he wished there were a few more.
