Reviews

[Jen Bohle · Rating 4 out of 5]

These were all challenging books for me as 10-12 year old. I didn't have this exact version of these books; rather the old watermill classics with the white spine one could purchase through those scholastic or Troll catalogues for schoolchildren.

[Devan Outzen]

This book has nothing to do with the Twilight saga but is also a very exciting book. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes nice happy endings.
