Praise for Classic Starts":

"Large print, short chapters, and an abundance of white space provide an attractive, more-accessible option for readers who are not ready to handle the originals."--School Library Journal
"Even those who dislike adaptations will find much to admire in this retelling&"--School Library Journal (for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer)
