Reviews for On the Mexican Border

[jenneth_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book was, like always, really good, but kinda leaves you wondering. I'm disapointed that Tom Till wasn't in it. I like it when ALL the gang is in the stories. I remember when I was on the swings at school, and I had people swinging next to me, and every once in a while, I'd give an out burst like: "Tom Till isn't in the book?!" or " Dragonfly is moving to Texas?!"
