I loved tis book! I thought it was one of the best books that I've read. I think it would be so cool if they made a movie for the book. Does anyone know how to contact Nancy Farmer.

Hello, I am 15 and have been assigned this book by my teacher for my Honors LIT program. I am entranced by this book. It is wonderful simply because of the great flow, the plot is always interesting, and it is just wonderful. I read it in its entirety within 2 days. GREAT book, 5/5.

The House Of The Scorpion was the best book i have ever read out of millions that i have already read. The characters were impresionante!!!! I was blown away with the book, it really made me think "What if." This book has been a huge treat for me to read. ¡Algún tiempo yo deseo que el libro fuera verdadero, y podría ser uno de los caracteres! !!!! Some times in a book like this one you dont want it to stop, I didn't!!! After i had read the book i felt like ¡Por qué puede no este libro dura apenas para siempre y nunca jamás la parada! The way Nancy drew you into the story, it was like wow!! The book kind of made me think about things in the future. Nancy im so happy you wrote this book!! ¡Gracias tan tanto Nancy su el MEJOR! !!! Thank you so much Nancy for with wonderful book you have brought to us!!
