I found that the writing and the story much better than I thought.
The pace was very quick. Some times to fast. But I think it will be great for younger readers who have a hard reading will like this book and will have a hard time putting it down. The story with it's little twists and tricks will be sure to be a hit.
Also add to it interesting and well layered characters. The characters all of them were surprisingly life like. Over all I think that this is a book that many young writers will like and find worth to be worth the time. Great way to keep the kids busy this winter without using video games and TV.

I was given a copy of the book by the publisher. This did not in anyway effect my review or thoughts on the book
I read a lot when I was younger, but I always read older type of books, not in my age group, so I've never really read one that's aimed for younger. I think I should try one soon, see what I missing out on, sounds like a fun one. :)
ReplyDeleteWhile this book is very good, if you want to get a good feel for the younger kids books there are many others you might want to try first. I'd be more than happy to give you a list or links to the books I'm thinking of.
