As a matter of fact, I've had a few students to personally ask me for other books within the series, which is a bold testament to my kids learning (and loving) to read. As a result of my kids loving this series, they've learned to build their reading staminas, which means that they have more of a chance to be successful on the state test in April.\r\n\r\nAgain, you are appreciated more than you know.
