Your rating:
0i really enjoyed this book, surprisingly enough.
4.5 stars, just because a LOT of the book was summary. but that's the only way it would work as a story. it's cool though.
i'm a sucker for series, and this was right up my alley. i work in a k-8 library, so the resources are there for me. books everywhere!
i am happy to see what there is in store for me.
yes, some of the writing was juvenile, but you can't pick up this book and expect to be reading pride and prejudice or the feminine mystique.
this was an introductory book, and i thought the author did a good job of showing us who bobby is, as well as mark and courtenay and uncle press.
