0 0I finished Loot ahead of my students yesterday and my students will finish the book today in class. I love this book. As a teacher, I often don't make time for recreational reading; however, this book was entertaining to me and my students. My students loved "playing detective" and trying to follow along with clues to try to solve the mystery themselves. Often, they would react to revelations discovered by March and his companions. They would also get frustrated when they had to leave for the day because they did not want to be left with a cliffhanger.
