Review Quote
"Together they are at the helm of their educational adventure, distant historical events made easier to grasp through these character's eyes. This is a book that drums up awe and fascination, fuels dreams of a Grand Canyon hike one day, and inspires young audiences to keep reading. What a joy it would have been for those of us who grew up 20 years ago to have a Bubba Jones of our own. Alt's national park series will hold steadfast for generations[.]" --Svea Conrad, Arizona Daily Sun
