If it's as short as the first, it will be like reading one slightly longer book :)<br /><br />Britt, I know!

It was probably designed that way - suck them into the story and then end it so they must come back :)melissa @ 1lbrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292714636311546457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-12262273210682682052010-06-08T12:55:33.235-07:002010-06-08T12:55:33.235-07:00I reviewed this one for Amazon Vine, and was reall...I reviewed this one for Amazon Vine, and was really disappointed--Andrew Clements is a great author for kids, but I felt like I got 1/3 of a book! I understand all the publishers are going for series these days, and they don't want the book too long, etc., but if I had purchased this one for my kids I would have really felt cheated. I just didn't think the book stood well on its own--more like an introduction to the series.fourth Musketeerhttp://fourthmusketeer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
