Even his sister Katherine and his friend Chip are believable and well fleshed-out. His actions, reactions, and interactions all felt real to me. Not too good, not too bad–just your average seventh-grader. The action and discoveries didn’t stop and I just kept frantically turning pages to find out more. Sure, it’s an older kids’ book and I’m a pretty fast reader, but I could not put this down. I woke up, started this as I ate breakfast, kept reading, and finished it in about three hours. I was right to an extent, but mostly I was hugely surprised by the time the ending rolled around. After getting hooked by the fantastic prologue, I had a little bit of an idea as to where this might be going.
