I have read the 2 preceding books to the series -- they are awesome. This book is also a wonderful read. I get lost in a different world. Sawyer is an amazing writer that spins a wonderful story of love, forgiveness and excitment.
My 11 year old has read all the books in the series so far. He has shared many interesting facts about different parts of the world that he has learned from the adventures within the books.
I just purchased this combo for a distance course I am doing for my nursing degree. Being a mature student - I need all the extra help in my pursuit of higher education. I have found the study guide an excellent complement to the text!
