Well-Written!
The Curse of Captain LaFoote is an extremely well-written book. I could immediately connect with the characters and understand their story.

Fantastic Swashbuckling Tale!
My boys and I really enjoyed this book. The story just grabbed us and we were transported to another place and time as we read this swashbuckling tale of adventure and suspense. We couldn't put it down! Many thanks to KCWC for the opportunity to review this book.

Sleeping In On A Saturday
I slept in today until almost 10 am. I'm not exactly an early riser, but that's a little late for even me. The house was quiet, and I assumed the kids had followed suit and slept in as well. Imagine my surprise when I found them both sitting on my son's bed.reading.

My son was an early reader. He started at the age of four. By the end of first grade he was reading at a fifth grade level. Now in fifth grade, he reads at about an eighth grade level. But he's never wanted anything to do with fiction. I've tried everything. Magic Treehouse, The Dragonslayers Academy. I tried reading Harry Potter out loud to him. "Boring, Mom. Can't we just watch the movies?" My heart broke.how can someone with half my DNA not love J.K. Rowling's writing? A few books have caught his attention, so long as I read them a chapter at a time at bedtime. But in general, he'd rather hunker down with a big reference book about animals than dive into a story.
Until now.
What finally did it for him? Well, a friend of mine sent my son The Curse of Captain LaFoote, by Eddie Jones. He's on chapter five, and so excited to find a book that is holding his interest.
Not a typical Friday morning before..but maybe from now on? I sure hope so! - Kat Heckenbach
