It seemed like the writer focused too much on trying to be poetic, and in the proces of doing so, forgot about the plot. I would have liked the book better if there was more of an explanation as to why and how the kids got there without an adult. This book was written a bit vague which led me to putting it down on multiple occasions even though it's such a short book.

Another aspect which I disliked was how "Piggy" was contantly referred to as fat. I get how children tease each other but you can tell the author also has some kind of prejudice. 

The end was written a bit better and the only reason that I give this book a whole star.
