Item as described, perfect fit on earlier GM factory wheels. Shipping was quick but felt it was a bit high. Sent a similar set from Hawaii to same mainland address for under $20. But, it is what it is. Still would recommend this vendor

    PAX was wonderful

    I was expecting just a little children’s book that I could read to a very young child, , but was so surprised with the mature approach to the story and it was very well written. I would recommend it to every 12 year old or older. Thank you.

  • A wonderful easy read

    The story is wonderfully written. I bought this to read on vacation but started it early and now I can't put it down. There are two tails - one told through the eyes of a boy and one though the eyes of a fox. Both are different and both are descriptive and moving.

  • Perfect read for my 5th grader!

    My 11 year old daughter loved the book and read it in about 3 days. It kept her attention and she couldn't put it down! Also, it was in great shape for a used book.

  • Fantastic writing

    I Read this before giving it to my grandchildren and I think they are too young. This is one of the best books I've read all year and I'm recommending it to adults. I loved this story, love the writing, loved the characters and hated for it to end. It's a beautiful book.
