Reviewed by RaymondThis was a poor story in my opinion. Nothing really happened in it. One of the things I don't really like in this series, is it talks down to its intended reader, namely children. This is a mistake a lot of "children's" books make and it causes an otherwise good premise seem foolish and badly written. Kids are smart. Don't write down to them. Authors will also have the chance of attracting an older reader and possibly writing a classic.
