A Kid's Review

This review is from: Adventure On Apple Orchard Road (Paperback)

I really liked it. It's a great book!

His mom adds: As soon as he got the book, he started reading it and wouldn't put it down until he'd reached the end. What kid wouldn't like a book about hidden treasure and secret compartments in an old house? I enjoyed the book myself.

Kids will love this book. It is packed with fun and mysterious adventures. The chapters are short so kids can easliy read a chapter a night before bed, if they can put it down after only one chapter, that is. I highly recommend it!
