Customer Reviews:
Great book for fifth graders September 24, 2008
I teach fifth grade in Fort Myers, Florida. We are not too far from Everglades National Park. I use this book every year as a novel unit. It is a wonderful adventure story about 3 teens in Everglades National Park. It is very real for Florida students, but could be used by any teacher. It is has good readability for fifth or sixth grade students.
It addresses environmental issues relevant to south Florida as well as a great description of the Everglades. It is a great visual for the active mind. My students love it because each chapter ends with a "cliff hanger" and they want to continue to read each day. It also has an Accelerated Reader test.
