They get a boost in sales when a local radio personality buy some and shares their information over the radio.
This is a fast and easy chapter book that is easy for new readers to follow. Nothing happens outside of the one main storyline and the illustrations help guide the reader along. The story is perhaps boring in its simplicity, but this will be an asset to young readers.
