The Thief and the Beanstalk by P.W. Catanese

An interesting continuation of the famous tale of “Jack and the Beanstalk.” The story is full of suspense and action. I will admit that there are corners of disappointment and sadness.

I was so excited to receive this book early. This book has action from the beginning to the end. I also loved how fast the plot moved. My heart raced throughout the whole book wondering what would happen next. It is believable because it represents how evil the Nazi’s were and how people fought back. […]
