Loved reading these books as a kid. Decided to reread this as a refresher since it's been so long & so I can help better with reader's advisory. I remember taking forever to read these and now I read them in like 15-20 minutes. It's so weird. Anyway, fun story as I remembered and a great story for those just starting into chapter books.
