My 6th grade son, who isn't much of a book reader, recieved the first 3 books in this series. He read this book in 4 days and the 2nd book in 3. It was awesome when he would finish a few chapters and then rush to tell me all about it. I loved to see the enthusiasm in him with book reading! He has even shared the books with his teachers and plans to donate the finished books to his school library. see more Browse for similar items by category: Literature - Children's Books - Subjects - Books - Action & Adventure Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths - Literature - Children's Books - Subjects - Books - Greek & Roman Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery & Horror - Literature - Children's Books - Subjects - Books - Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Magic Literature - Children's Books - Subjects - Books - General Children's Books - Mythology - World Literature - Literature & Fiction - Subjects - Books - Greek & Roman
