Customer Reviews

A great book in a great series!

This book has been very popular in my third grade classroom. This book along with the others in the "Hector" series are consistently checked out of the classroom library by my students. As a teacher I am always excited to find books that capture my students' imagination the way these books have. The kids are drawn to the books by the individual adventures that each story offers, and keep returning to the stories because of their repeated themes of friendship, devotion, and connection to home. These are themes that all my third graders relate to. We're hoping that more will come in this fine series.
