I am the Ice Worm
|
It is important that students have I am the Ice Worm in class by Monday, March 5. WARNING: I am the Ice Worm is NOT the easiest book to find. You may have to go online and order "used" or visit a public library. The book is available through the author at http://www.maryanneasley.com/index.htm#books for $9.95. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's a GREAT book and a great comparison to Hatchet.
