[Heidi]

This book is perfect for reluctant readers. The story is short but compelling. The attractive illustrations help the reader visualize what it may have been like to be in the situation Amy is in. There are also a few photographs taken after she was found. The students I shared the story with were fascinated and had lots of questions and comments. For those who prefer more detail, this book is not for you. There is not a whole lot of detail here, just enough to get the story across. But what is there is very well done. Recommended.
