IT WAS A NICE SURPRISE TO FIND SARA HOAGLAND HUNTER HERE!
SHE’S REALLY GOOD! I READ HER BOOK, I LOVED IT, AND NOW I’M ABOUT TO BUY HER NEWEST ONE, “LIGHTHOUSE SANTA”.
Sara and her sister-in-law Robin are the best writers I know, and to learn of this wonderful book and its devotion to the code talkers is a wonderful discovery. I look forward to reading it, while knowing generations of children (and adults) to come will find this vital legacy alive and well in its pages.
