I know I just said I am a Curtis fan. The way the sun shines through the trees makes you feel like you are in the woods too.

When I left her office, I felt like she'd gut-punched me, brushed me off, slapped me back and forth, gave me a cool compress to put on my cheeks, cold-cocked me with a stiff uppercut to the jaw, picked me up, brushed me off again, then kicked me in the seat of my pants as she handed me a piece of cake and showed me the door.

I think this book would be a great read for 4th and 5th graders because of the adventures in this book. I believe the kids this age will be interested in the adventure in this book.

Full Book- This book was an interesting read. Two children one black and one white have come together because of their interest of a mysterious man in the woods. This story has elements of the story that act real, like the way the kids connect to each other. They connect because of their interest. The color of their skin does not separate them.
