I've tagged his better books below. #planestrainsandautomobiles #photoadaynov16

Megabooks @RanaElizabeth Yeah, I just wasn't feeling it. It just didn't have the same voice as the other two. I was a bit bored. 8y
Laura317 I enjoyed River Town. I will certainly look for the others. 8y
Megabooks @Laura317 Oracle Bones checks in with some of his students from River Town, which I loved. 8y
