When I was substitute teaching, I taught a lesson from this book. I remember feeling captivated by the story, but evidently that clip I read was the only captivating part of this book.

This book is no longer in publication, which should have been a clue to me right then and there. Very poorly written, this book was actually painful to get through. The characters were very shallow and difficult to connect with. I definitely do not recommend this book, especially as one to teach in elementary school.
