My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a twist on Jack and the Beanstock. I read this story to my almost 10 year old and the laughter out of her was priceless. The pictures in the story was bright and colorful. Jack was lazy and wanted to get money. The ogre was watching his every move and trying to get him to the top so he could eat him. I would say this book is more for age 7-8 years old.

Hole in the Rock was the first book I have read by Rebecca. She did a really great job writing and describing the main characters, Lizza was one of my favorites in the book. She was cute, funny, and annoying all at the same time. The book alone was funny. I would say this book is more for middle school aged kids. I would definitely read more books written by her.
