To be quite honest me my husband and 16 kids heard about it on the street. We decided to buy it for 3 sheep and yes it was a little pricey but we had to let some go anyway. I read it and wow what a plot twist! I really wasn't expecting the latin but all the good things I think. After this I went to the corn fields and told my husband about it. He reads it every night to the kids before bed. I will say, it could use more characters. Overall me and my family love our new chunk of land and this great book.
