    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

  • Action packed animal fantasy series.

    I enjoy K. Applegate's books. This fantasy series is a tale of tragedy, friendship, loyalty/deception, and courage. There are some intense situations in the series that may be too heavy for younger readers. I would say 11 years and up would be fine. This fantasy series, however, does not disappoint.
