Overall I generally like this book. It's not perfect, no book is, but it's still enjoyable for any demographic. The writing and the characters are well executed and are rich in character. They all have distinct traits and develop throughout the story. It's truly a great book despite it's pacing problems. I'd recommend it to anyone.
This book is very good but a strong cliffhanger. I would recommend this book to all young readers.
Great book, sad ending, but hard to put down
It is a great book that makes you have a lot of emotions and i recommenced it to a person that is looking for a good book. I hope Catherine Ryan Hyde makes a second one because the end leaves you hanging. That was only one thing I hated about this book. Catherine Ryan Hyde, if your reading thins, please make a second one!
