Didn't really enjoy this book. Thought I would but I had a hard time sticking with it. Can't really put a finger on what it was. Maybe it was a little bit of everything. There was nothing there to pull me to the characters at all. The writing sometimes seemed like the book should be steered toward a younger audience and then would shift like it should be for an older kid audience. I couldn't figure out if I was reading a kid's book or a young adult book. The premise of the story is what got me started in the first place and what kept me going. It never really seemed to come together. I won't be reading the rest in the series.
