Reviews

[Shaina Shepherd · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series has had all 5 of our children on the edge of their seats the ENTIRE time and always begging for more. We finish a chapter and it’s never enough. They want to know what is going to happen next. We finish the book, and they want to start the next one in the series.

Not necessarily the same level of humor as ‘By The Great Horn Spoon’, but the mystery and adventure within this story has them enthralled.
