Now this is what I was waiting for!! My reread of this series hasn't been that exciting so far, but I knew that the real good stuff was yet to come. And here it began! I loved the addition of the triplets, and the slight introduction of the larger plot of the series with the VFD. Really excited to keep rereading the rest.

I liked this book better than the previous one but I still get tired of how the adults are so easily fooled as is the recurring theme in this series.
The reason I liked this book more than the previous one is because it discussed how school environments can be challenging with how mean kids can be but yet there will always be someone who has something in common with you and has your back. There will always be a group in which you could belong to and make your experience there more bearable.
It also discussed how the teachers and the managing staff (principal, vice principal) also contributed to the whole climate and experience of the school and when this group of people do not carry out their responsibilities well, they can bring harm to the students who are under their care.
It also discussed the dynamics between the staff within the hierarchy and how the people lower in the hierarchy often choose to turn a blind eye instead of standing up to what is right just to keep their jobs and as a result continue to allow unqualified and irresponsible people to stay in the higher ranks and go unchecked.
For the content mentioned above, I decided to rank this book higher than I would if it was solely based on my enjoyment of the story.

Oh my God this one was really good! It ended on a freaking cliffhanger! Ahhh I gotta read the next one I am so excited!
Side note: the development of the author in the story is really interesting and enjoyable.
