"I have used this program in both a 3rd and 6th grade classroom as a warm-up before our daily math lesson. I love the program. It provides constant review, along with a daily word problem, and 3 oral problems which are great for listening skill practice."

"This is the first book in a historical adventure series by Arturo Perez-Reverte. It took awhile for me to get into it, but once I did I was disappointed when it ended. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series...Purity of Blood. I think this book would make a great movie!"
