5.0 out of 5 stars
A remarkably enjoyable story for all ages!,
This review is from: The Young Wrecker on the Florida Reef (Paperback)
With its genuine classic "old style" of writing, this book will take and place you into the center of a wonderful journey of youth and growth. A great book and an interestingly easy read for those moments when catapulting yourself into another life, time and location is just what you need. I highly reccomend it, and don't forget to share this one with the younger generation in your homes!
