Both my daughter and the 5 year old that I watch cite these as their favorite books.  We've read them over and over for the past year and these are the only books that they've ever requested me to read a specific chapter from at story time (when we aren't reading through the book).  I give the set as birthday gifts to all of their friends because we love them so much.  They are perfect to read aloud-- pull out your voices, your kids will be laughing hysterically.

My son and I read this series together, and it was his first experience reading a series. The characters are loveable, great cliff-hangers at the end of the first three books and an ending with an overall good feeling. My son is six years old, and we're now looking for another series to read. The comic book/graphic novel style of these books was a really fun way to transition from picture books to chapter books. It really held his interest and gave him some invaluable reading practice, as well as quality time between us. Great read. Enjoy!

I really love this series.  I knew by reading the first 2 in the series that when I started the 3rd I had better block out enough time to just sit and read because nothing else would happen until I was done.  I heard the author speak when number one was just coming out about his reasons for writing this series and I was hooked.  The books do not disappoint.  They are written for young readers, but I am almost 60 and I love them.  I have given my copies to my 9 year old grandson to read and he has given them rave reviews Then he passes them on to my daughter who keeps them in her 5th grade library for her students to read.  I don't purchase many hard back books anymore, but Michael Vey is a must for me because I know I can recommend it to so many others.  I do have one small complaint in the content.  There are several references to teenage characters sleeping together.  This disappointed me.  There is not graphic content, but the reference is there and I am saddened that it is included.

Our 4 yo really loves reading this series and has read it several times and even brought it to school to share and trade with class mates. Any book that makes our kids read on their own is worth the price of admission. The story is silly and immature but that's what kids love. My son has rad the entire series already.

My 2 girls , age 10 & 14 LOVE this series.  They each have read through volume 1-5 with no pause. Great for their reading skills and teaching them a love for reading. They also had me check out the Percy Jackson movie on red box which goes along with the story in the books.  To me the movie was similar to greek mythology characters and had a good plot and main characters to follow.  excellent.

Fantastic chapter book for early readers. Appealing story and pictures on every page. We bought the first book at a fair. Loved so much we continue to read the series. Enjoyable books for boys and girls. Highly recommend!

My seven year old loves these books - especially the super editions.  She is an advanced reader so it may not be for all seven year olds (she reads on a 6th grade level) but if rhey are strong readers who truly love a good book this may be a series you want to look into.

My 9-year old and 10-year old granddaughters love these books.  Any time you can get a young person to put down their "electronics" and actually hold a book and read, they grow so much.  This series is great.

My granddaughter love them. She is 6 years old and she loves to read. I got her all 11 chapter books and she is on chapter 9.

We've read all the books in the series. At 9 my youngest has probably out grown them, but for a developing reader 5 to 8 its a good series, nice family and friends set in an interesting Alaskan setting, a sense of the frontier and nature. Highly recommended, should be in all libraries or school collections aimed at this age group.

These are great books for the 8-10 year old girl.  My daughter does not like to read and yet this series has captured her imagination and kept her engrossed for long periods.  Well meaning topics and fun reading for kids.

I got this series for my son's when they are little.  They are now i n thei 40's.  I bought these so a friend who has twin boys can have the enjoyment my boys did.  This is a great series for young readers to start with.

This is a wonderful series of books for higher level first grade readers, and on-level second and third grade readers.  My granddaughter (third grade) reads them herself and has requested the whole series.  We are going to order the "mystery" part of the series soon. As a teacher, I used these with small groups of second grade readers, and they loved them as well.  Each book has a message that is age-appropriate and elicits thoughtful discussion.

My 11-year-old daughter is really enjoying this series of books.  She was introduced to it by her fourth grade teacher last year.  He read the first chapter of the first book aloud to his class at the end of the year.  My daughter didn't pick that book up again until the spring book fair of her fifth grade year.  However, once she started reading it, she hasn't been able to put it down.  She's reading all the books in the series the same way.  I recommend it for kids who love fantasy and adventure.

My child is 6 and has been reading since she was 3.  So it's really hard to find books that are in chapters that has age appropriate content.  This series is perfect for her.  I find the stories a little mundane but she's thrilled to read about a little girl that can talk to animals.  I've found nothing objectionable in the books so I am thrilled.

My second grader is hooked on this series. While the books are a little challenging for his reading level, he's really interested in the characters and plot. These are the first chapter books that he had read without parental prompting or participation.
