Spectacular!
I absolutely LOVED this second offering from LaDuke! I am thrilled to find that she doesn't "dumb things down" for kids, they can learn (vocabulary, biology, etc) from these books. The story makes "sense", no plot holes, lots of learning for Josh too. I could not recommend this book enough to young AND old!
