I enjoyed reading this book, and I can see why it would hold such a special place in peoples hearts. It was fun, quirky, and had the right amount of suspense for middle grade. I thought that the characters and the ideas were really interesting but I just could not get over Meg's whiney attitude. It just felt that at every turn Meg was the one doing the complaining and had to be dragged along. Even when she

had to go and save her brother she had to have basically the whole crew give her a pep talk about it.

I think if I had read this as a child, I would have really loved it. As an adult that has no nostalgia for it, the book was a fun read but I wasn't terribly invested.
