A Kid's Review

This review is from: King of the Cloud Forests (Hardcover)

I have never read a better book in my life! The entire plot and setting are incredable! The Yeti are so well discribed. The story has a lot of suspense and adventure. It's worth trying to order a used copy. It is the BEST book!
