Review: I love this book!
The main character, Taffy Snackerge is sooo cool! She reminds me of my family, but she is more extreme of diseases than I am. I WILL eat out and eat at buffet restaurants. I go by the rule, some germs help keep you healthy.

The characters in this book are easy to sink your teeth into to relate and be a part of their life. Everyone has had or known a person in their life that acted like anyone of these characters.

The plot/ story line was easy to keep up with and flowed like a well-oiled machine throughout the book. It flowed so well that I read the book in one setting without trying. It makes the book a very light read.

The characters talked like normal teenagers throughout the book. The dialogue worked very well and flowed naturally throughout the book.

I believe any well knowledgeable teenager would enjoy this book. It does have the pros and cons of doing a project as a team effort, but this book plays the lesson of team work out very well that any person could not complain about the lesson learned.

Five stars
I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

There were some clever quips and the writing was strong, but I didn't like any of the main characters and thought the overall plot was boring.

This book has everything!!! without giving too much away, it contains:
- a cute queer girl relationship
- a bacterial infection epidemic
- luchador masks
- several villains
- an absurd breakfast food concoction
- almost no violence
- science-y detective work
- the right combination of silliness and sappyness
