Want a valued opinion of a girl who loves to read?
I could not put this book down!! This was an amazing book full of amazing description and excitement. I loved how I literally grabbed my hair a few times or laughed out loud on almost every page. The ending is pretty predictable, however, it's not SO predictable that you have to put the book down. Avi is a great writer and Ruth did an amazing job at adding more "colour" to the pictures!
