Customer Reviews

Is fantastic book ! Seeing the cover brings back so many emotions in memories. I probably read this

The trailblazer books Is an excellent series. This book the hidden jewel was one of my favorites. I was hesitant as a 13 year old boy because the cover looked girly. That's funny now. But it's a fantastic story and I probably read it through 4 times Over the next few years.
