I love hiking, I have some skills in tracks and trails but Sarah's skills in the same are unmatched. I would love to possess her hawk eyesight, the stealth and instinct. With her skills I would be formidable.

I've always wished I would have paid more attention in school during the French class. I've never had much success learning another language so that would be a great skill to have.

I reviewed this book and i found it highly intriguing. I really admired the tracking skills Jacko and his sister Sarah possessed. These would be amazing skills to have.

I also admired the skills of Sarah for tracing the kidnappers in the jungle by use of the sakai trail.

Great skills of having an hawk eye observing the surrounding, her great strategic mind and combining it with his tracing ability in the jungle she out shines everyone in the group and also the rebels

I think I would like to combine the ability to track with the mastery of other languages. I would then simultaneously be a master of both tracking and yakking!

And if I am not able to do both, I would lean towards the language proficiency as it gives such great advantages to be able to communicate and understand in as many ways as possible.

Sarah is a wonderful tracker. I'd love to posses her skill. Jonny's language skill is also amazing.

Undoubtedly, I would like to have the extraordinary tracking skills of Jacko and his half-sister, Sarah, and Jacko's ability to move through the woods without making a sound!

I would love to be able to pick up a new language easily. I used to take Spanish classes and lessons and had a hard time picking it up.

I loved the skills of Jacko and Sarah. Their tracking skills, Jacko's swiftness and accuracy with weapons were all commendable.

This would be an incredible skill to have! Also I am pretty impressed with anyone that is able to survive in the wilderness; that is a skill I lack!
I would love to be able to track people down as Sarah does because I could track anyone at home eating the brownies.
