On the other hand when I listened to the audio, I was driving with tears running down my face. Even if teens aren't fans of Shakespeare, I've found they appreciate Holling's predicament, especially the tights and feathers.Mary Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738815849236707040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482209358718993270.post-40024139576592850842008-05-11T09:14:00.000-07:002008-05-11T09:14:00.000-07:00This was great!

I just finished it on audio.<BR/>I laughed! I cried! I'm still laughing and crying! This book reminds me of Holes the way everything that is seemingly unrelated is actually related! It has a little of everything--love, romance, baseball, history, Shakespeare, camping, architecture, free love...<BR/>I will definitely be recommending this one to my teens.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442781741306334246noreply@blogger.com
