A cute, fast-paced story with surprisingly "adult" themes of persecution and subversion, cloaked in child-friendly plotlines. It is suitable for children though, and has many genuinely funny moments. Recommended for both adults and children who like the Potter series and the "Hidden" series by Haddix.
