Bowers - See all my reviews Ms. Wood knows her history and knows young people, and she has created a book that is interesting and accurate from a history perspective. It is clear she knows and likes young people in her presentation. It is also clear that she has a good grasp on the history of the nation's oldest city. I have purchased all three books she has written for my grandchildren and neices, they all tried to read at one sitting. I would recommend her writing to anyone. These are adventure and action stories for young people, something they can enjoy while being instructed. --Richard Bowers History can be fun!, July 20, 2008 By Gena M. Jerozal (Ponte Vedra, FL USA) - See all my reviews Even if you never liked learning about history, Jane Wood's books will change all that. She has created interesting characters who find themselves in interesting situations where they end up learning about history while having fun. Although her books are geared for kids aged 10 to 14, even grown ups will enjoy them -- and will learn something too. I highly recommend all three of her books for kids of all ages. --Gena Jerozal (Ponte Vedra, FL) Jane Wood writes the best books for kids of all ages!, August 2, 2008 By Barbara Green (Ponte Vedra Beach, FL) - See all my reviews So far Jane Wood has 3 books out and they are all awesome. As a teacher my students can't wait to begin the school year by reading her books. I teach ESE students with severe mental and physical disabilities. Most of them had never read a book before and these students are ages 16-22. After quickly getting hooked on Jane's first book they were like sponges wanting to learn to read. Two years ago I worked with severe street kids that were often in and out of jail. Again, they had never been interested in reading. After the first book they were hooked. Then I shared Jane's books with a group of gifted students. Although they were used to reading all the time they couldn't wait to read her next two books; one involving a pirate and a princess on Amelia Island and the next one, involving manatees and "Trouble on the Saint John's River". Not only do the students learn about history but the books have characters they can relate to and that makes it more interesting. For teachers, of any grade or ability level get the books and Mrs. Woods is even available for school visits! --Barbara Green (Ponte Vedra, FL) Jane R.
