2019 review: It was a cute little read. Although, I don't really know any 10 year old that "talks" like Melody does. Even really smart ones.

2023 "review:" the only notes i wrote were "fuck rose fr. and claire and molly. AND THE WHOLE WHIZ KIDS TEAM." so... yeah. idc that they're kids they shall have no mercy (/hj).

It's a very cute children's book, but the quality of the prose isn't great. There's a lot of "sassy" comebacks, which sound cool for kids, but ruin some very good dialogue if reading from a more mature perspective.
