3.0 out of 5 stars Better for younger people, November 19, 2006

This review is from: Back to School (Boxed Set): School Story; The Report Card; A Week in the Woods (Paperback)

The School Story is definitely the best book in the box set, and when I got it I thought that the others would be like it and for the sam age-group, but they're not really. A Week In The Woods and The Report Card are for 9 - 10 year olds whereas The School Story is for slightly older. The School Story is a good book about being determined, being willing to take chances and belieivng in yourself. The other two I found more boring but maybe that was because I was 12 when I read them.
