"If Angie Kratzer makes it, you had better buy it and put it in your lesson rotation! This is such a fantastic unit. My Lang kids loved it and they got so much out of the novel because of the carefully crafted lessons here. Thank you, Angie, for your awesome work here! This was money well spent!" Ninia
