  • Excellent product, excellent seller, very happy A++

    Book is perfect for children who are aged 10-12 years old who are interested in reading the Secretariat story. My daughter wanted the older young adults version of the book which was to difficult of reading this was recommended to us and was a great match!! I highly recommend it to people.
