Loved this book as a child and just had to get it for my classroom

I was afraid this story might be too simplistic for my taste, because it was told from a young kid's point of view. But I was pleased to discover that the story contained enough intrigueing material to keep my interest.Although, I must admit, the story was, indeed, somewhat simplistic, the 12-year-old main character was very intelligent. And the events that transpired were interesting enough, especially the abduction. The abduction was very well done, and it was very easy to suspend disbelief. It didn't feel ridiculous at all. And it raised some very interesting ideas.In any case, being from Northern Maine myself, I enjoyed the elements associated with Northern Maine- namely the woods, the trails, the caves and even the bugs.This was a nice little story. And it left me wanting more.

Gr. 5 students are enjoying this book

I have read everything Cathie Pelletier has written, so why not read this. Kept me interested even though it was written for a young age. Sent it to my grand daughter and she loved it also.

Funny, wonderful story of a family durng the summer months. The children think they see a flying saucer and the fun and fear is felt throughout the story.

Outstanding character development. You will love the protagonist. Written with excellent description of place as well. Enjoyed it immensely.

A-OK
