Must-Read

I had a very smart and very good teacher in grade school. We had to read a certain amount of books each year, and some we HAD to read as a class so we could discuss them. The Iceberg Hermit was one of them, and I have to say that it was one of my favorites of the must-read stories we had to pick from, right up there with Bridge to Terabithia, Tuck Everlasting, Mrs. Mike and Where the Red Fern Grows.I had lost my copy years ago, but thought of it again recently. So I was pleasantly surprised that it was still in print. I remember how my imagination soared, trying to picture the main character stranded in the middle of nowhere. I was transported to another place and time, and 20 years after reading the book, I can still remember it vividly. If you are looking for some good reading material for your children, this will NOT disappoint.

The book that will change the way you think of survial.

This book is the best survial book I've ever read. It's one of those books you never want to put down.From the beginning when the ship wrecks to the end there's nothing but excitment all the way though.This book will show you yhat no matter what happenes if you want to survive you will- no matter the odds. So take it from me,this an awesome book any day.
