I started reading Willard Price to my classes as a fifth grade teacher, at the suggestion of my husband. His fourth grade teacher read the series to his class. I have past students remind me about these books each time I meet them out in public. Hal and Roger enjoy traveling and the adventure of trapping animals for their dad's wild animal refuge. BOYS AND GIRLS alike LOVE these stories!

My husband read this as a kid and loved it, so he tracked it down for my 10 year old son.
When I asked him if he was enjoying it, he said; "It's awesome!".

I read all of Willard Price's adventure books when I was a kid, then read them to my kids, and now am buying them for my grandkids. Can't beat the stories and the suspense.
