Ratings and reviews

Very disappointed with the book my son picked from the school book fair because of the shark picture. This book is nothing to do with sharks. It is very shallow book with poor vocabulary... "Cool", "Good", "Great" that's how characters expressing their feelings...does that enriches kids vocabulary? I even started to skip response "Cool" while reading it aloud. Main Characters and their dialogs are not engaging at all and the learning part about ancient Mayans is very minimal.

I love this book it tells important stories and make me laugh and is a verry important book for Everyone to read and to enjoy.

I remember reading this in 4th grade during silent reading time, the suspense killed me as I read the shark scene!
