Arthur P. Snittles: The Magic Barrel is a fascinating story. This story kept me glued to the pages to see what would happen next. It also made me feel I was part of the story. I was intrigued by the idea that it kept me in suspense.

I read Jeff's book with great interest. He has combined adventure; positive relationships, especially between the children and their grandpa; moral values; and history in a great medium that can be enjoyed by children as they read it themselves or have a special person read it with them. I look forward to more exciting books from this author in the future.
