I am glad to see that the author did such a great job pulling so many elements together. Your review also makes me curious about the whole series. I have young readers in my life who might enjoy these books. Thanks for your awesome review.

A detailed review for what sounds like a detailed book. You're right about the cover art; it is beautiful.
Great review!

Latest Review: E M P Honeymoon by Dorothy May Mercer

Post by Chrystal Oaks »

I like the title and cover, both are catchy and clever. A children's book that teaches about the 1950's, and values without preaching, sounds like one I would like to read. I enjoyed reading your review. Thanks!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :tiphat:

This sounds like a fun read! 8) 8) I think lots of kids would enjoy reading a retro chapter book. I may have to suggest the series to some of my teacher friends. Thanks for your very thorough review!
