This book was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was amazing. It was kind of disappointing how little actually involved the clue they had.

On page 82 it says that Amy and Dan had a pow-wow. That's not a word non-natives can use to describe a meeting. There was nothing preventing Linda Park from saying, "Amy and Dan had a chat." Or a talk. There's many non racially insensitive words to use. Later on the book lists Mother Teresa as one of the greatest people in earth. You can go to this link to read more

but mother Teresa forced conversions, terminal cancer patients were just given asperin, and they just ran syringes under cold water and used them again knowing it was wrong. She isn't "one of the greatest people on earth."
