Only bought and read this so I could see the OJ Simpson chapter. Apparently he’s a pretty quiet guy and “hates attention”. Hope he’s able to lay low

Bought this series of books for several of the boys in my 5th grade reading class. I loved these when I was a kid and were probably the first "big books." They really sparked my interest in reading, so I hoped it would work for these young men. For the most part, it did.
