Ratings and reviews

The kids were mean to each other in almost all of the stories and outwardly hated school. I think stories like these are bad influences on kids. We should instead be reading to them and promoting books which illustrate respect, responsibility, strong character; the traits we want to see develop in our children.

It's incomprehensible how ALL of the free books are expired. There should be at least a few available if that's what's advertised. Seems like something isn't legally sound.

Its stupid because you have to pay and that it gose blank when you pay for it so you just wased your good luck charm money I mean who dose that huh you guys tell me and it even says FREE on it so people just lying man
