adventurous emotional funny medium-paced

• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

5.0

The discussions that this book can bring up in a classroom is excellent. I think that the balance of the intensely emotional backdrop and the seemingly lighthearted adventure story works really well for the intended age range.
