What educators are saying

Fantastic resource to go along with the novel study. Easy to use and not overwhelming. This allowed us to dive deep into conversations about the book as well as keep standards aligned.
I had never read this book before, but it was recommended several times to me. I read it over the summer with an incoming 4th grader I tutor. He loved it and did so well with the brochure activities.
