Well, we came home from the bookstore with book 1 of the series and my DS6 was fit to be tied with excitement....of course he got into the cards (couldn't hide them from him) and he started reading the first chapter and then logged onto the website and started working on the puzzles/clues hidden in the cards. The story does sound interesting, some of the vocab is a little over him but will be an interesting tool to teach him some new words. Whatever I can find that might spark that reading bug!
