[J.L. Day · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read every single one of these as a child, time and time again; as an adult I have sought them out as treasured mementoes of my childhood. These books, the adventures and places they took me and the history I learned from them; they WERE my childhood!

They can be hard to find, but THANK GOD publishers are beginning to re-publish many editions from the series and believe you me I am buying them in book form AND on my Kindle.

If you have children or nieces and nephews, BY every book in this series and give the gift of adventure, education and appreciation of literature!

I thought the "We Were There" books were really good and I much enjoyed this one. I remember a fair amount even though it was many years ago when I read it.
