One of the benefits of maintaining your library collection is that, when you move books, you find so many that you would not have seen otherwise. Yay shifting! This one popped off the shelf, and I am so glad it did. I had never read this series before. I loved it!!! It made me want to read more of these (it only took me a night). I do want to read more of Bartoletti's work as well. Great read!
