I used this book as a novel study for my class and they absolutely loved it! Unbelievably, when I told my students there homework was to read chapters 6 - 10 all students came back reading more than I expected! Even the ones who don't usually do there homework! I personally loved the book as well! The characters were very well organized. I have read the first book and I loved that one as well. Every thing went well! My students like every part, well some were grinning about the relationship between Piper and moose, but it wasn't that bad. Great book. 5/5
