I feel like I may have liked this book a lot more if I’d read it at a younger age. It was definitely good and of course well written, but I didn’t feel connected to any of the characters and was just kind of reading for the sake of reading. The prank the kids play towards the end of the book is freaking hilarious and genius and I was impressed they pulled it off! Sounds like Alaska left a lasting impression upon them even at such a young age.
