Hi, I read that first book in this series when I was younger. Not
from Bookshare though. That time I did not have Bookshare membership,
but I had it in braille. It is a pretty cool and I would really think
that it is worth getting in to the collection. Thanks, Judy and
Valerie for working on it! People like you volunteers and all the
volunteers make Bookshare what it is now. Thanks so much! Also, I
will do what you guys said to just leave it as it is unless Bookshare
admins say something. Thanks for your help!!!!
