        My son would really enjoy this book and the fact you get the adventure backpack would have him ecstatic to go on his own adventures with it. He really enjoys adventure books as it has been hard to find books that catch his interest. This is an amazing giveaway to even have the signed book to remember this amazing writer going forward when we hand down the books written by her. Thank you

      Winning any book that encourages children (and some adults) to read is always a win. This book would grab the atention of many children and be a great read aloud for the classroom. The bag could be a prize for the child that reads the most books throughout the year.

      My second grade granddaughter is a voracious reader and anything thought-provoking is her ‘jam’.
      Aventure books that make her think and make choices is a great developer of readers and thinkers. This book is a win-win.
