Rough one for Marco!

The UK cover of this book had Marco morphing into a lobster on the front cover. I have a fond memory of having nominal cash and browsing the Scholastic book fair at primary school. I guess lobster boy on the cover was enough to catch the attention of 9 year old me and it was the book I went away with that day. It was an odd place to start - 5 books in. However, it was clearly enough to have me begging my mum to buy me the first four and I was hooked.
This book has a very satisfying twist that 33 year old me forgot about.

I can't believe I forgot about the big twist at the end of this story!!!! It really has been a long time since I've read these books. Still loving them. Still enjoying them. I think I really like Marco a lot better this time. I like all the characters. The one I always identified with was Rachel though. Not because of her fashion sense, but because of her 'go get it' amazon warrior mentality. I wanted to be her even though I was probably more like Cassie. lol.
Marco though... the ability to laugh in the face of so much fear and tragedy in his life. I'm glad at the end of the book there was a spark of hope in his life.
