Book binding is falling apart!

Not worth $9. I’ve paid way less for like new books. Please be more accurate about the conditions of your books.

Aloha Summer!

Aloha Summer is very good. Actually, I think Bill Wallace is good. In fourth grade, I met Bill Wallace at the Belle Isle Public Library. I think Bill Wallace is very funny. He had some funny stories to tell. Bill Wallace is also a very nice man. I also got to see Bill Wallace's wife, Carol Wallace. I understand that Bill Wllace lives in Chickasha, Oklahoma. I also live in Oklahoma. I think Aloha Summer is the best book Bill Wallace has written.

Aloha Summer

I bought this book for my daughter before we went on a trip to Hawaii and afterwords she couldn't wait to arrive. She is already a HUGE Bill Wallace fan. If you read all of his other reviews you'll soon see why he is so loved by kids. Anyway, I thought the story my daughter told me was very interesting and so when we returned from Hawaii I myself read the book. The book was amazing. It depicted Hawaii as we saw it and related how it had been before all the developement. The characters were very real to life and I could see how my daughter could relate to the story. Hawaii is a magical place and so is this book. I read the Horn review and found it to be completely wrong so I just had to write one from a REAL reader and parent of a beloved fan. Not to mention a new fan-- ME!
