One of the best books ever! Ever since I got The Good Guys Agency, I’ve been asking my mom to buy these books. If you’re looking for a really fun series, choose The Good Guys Agency.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2022This series is amazing. Not only is the message and how it is written great and easy to read, but fun too! The illustrations add to the wonderful experience! My 2nd graders and I loved it so much the other 3 books were a must buy! I received the Jackie Robinson, now for the other 2. Can’t wait to read them to my class.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2022Love this new addition to early elementary school-level chapter books! The series follows
the journeys of young boys who travel back in time to learn from historical male figures about the importance of being good to others and to ourselves. The artwork is colorful and very engaging! This is a gift for a 7-year old who I know will love it. Can’t recommend it enough, so glad to have found this series.
