Four Boundless Stars
Kitty Hawk and the Curse of the Yukon Gold is a cute start of an exciting series for kids and adults alike. I enjoyed reading this with my daughter; we both were extremely entertained throughout. The characters are well developed and the imagery is perfect. It has to be to keep young readers interested, and her eyes were glued to the pages. She couldn’t wait to see what happened next. An exceptionally well written story I recommend to all readers. An easy 4 Boundless Star book.
