Assignment 6

I really enjoyed reading the book Chasing the Wind. It was an adventurous book about the Nazis and missing treasures. I love adventures and this was the book! I would recommend this book to anyone who loves war, history or even adventure. It will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat.
