Yeah! I don't think there is anything better than a book having a very cool website. And this book does! You don't HAVE to read the book to go on the website, but of course, it will make so much more sense if you do read the book. One place you can start on the website is reading about the characters. Which one sounds most interesting to you and why?

For families interested in reading this book together (grand idea!), check out the reading guide. You don't have to follow it exactly, but it might be a good starting point.

This is one of my altime favroit books. It is rite behind 'Artemis Fowl' on my list because of the amzing story. The author understands that chirldren are capable of more things then adults could ever imagine. I voted for it to be an ICCA book and I am very happy it made the cut.

I love this book! It was recommended to me by Ms. Redmond and she was right! A must read for older students or as a read aloud!
