I loved this book! It is one of my favorites... I think that one of the reasons why its so great is because its believable.

I REALLY think you should read it!

The whole story is an adventure, its fun, interesting and realistic. I recommend this book to anyone who can read. Believe me, you won't be able to put the book down!

This book was action packed from begining to end. I reccomend this to ages 10-13
