2.0 out of 5 stars It Didn't "Ring My Bell", Jun 5 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bells of Christmas (Paperback)
The Bells of Christmas had some parts that were interesting. I would have liked to learn more about the father's handicap. However, it seemed like most of the book passed with Jason sitting by the National Road. Learning about the Road seemed to evoke the most interest from my fifth-grade class. One year of that was enough.
