Customer Review:
I was very impressed with this book. I use it as an accompaniment to two others; Word Journeys by Ganske and Word Sorts for Within Word Pattern Spellers by Invernizzi.

Whoa. I can honestly say this is one of the best books I've read in a while, which is saying something, especially since this is classified as MG.
