      Was a sweet story didn't catch that it was book 5 so i will probably go back and read the rest. I have several young families looking for something like this to let thier early tweens read and will be comfortable sharing and suggesting them. I totally didn't know Wanda Brunstetter wrote books for kids! This is exciting. I was really familiar with this story line. I was an eigth grader when I got my glasses and tried some of the same stunts she did. some things in life are universal.
