I read A Land Remembered in its original form and loved it. I don't know if this one is edited - it might be - but it is PERFECT for my fifth grade son. He reads and I read to him. Wonderful, engaging historical fiction that teaches about history as well as about the environment. Highly recommend.

I was so happy when my 9 yr old grandson asked for these books. His teacher has been reading it to his 4th grade class and he became so interested he wanted a set of his own. Until I heard of my grandson's wish I didn't even know that the book had been published in a student version. Being a 3rd generation Florida native myself, the story has always been one of my favorites. Your website was very helpful and the service was great.

For some reason I didn't notice that this was Volume 2 of the book, even though you were explicit in putting it right in front of me. I don't have Volume 1, so this volume was useless. I wanted the complete volume. A lesson learned.
