This was the second time I read this book after initially reading it when I was 13, so I already was going in with a lot of nostalgia tied to it. I did not remember how fun this book was! It felt like a ride and we were hopping from adventure to adventure. It did the best job a first book can do, introduce a cast of characters and thoroughly introduce each one, give us the chance to meet them all. I am excited to see what they characters get up to!
