Just an overall fantastic book. I read this back in middle school, so I was a bit worried about it not holding up, but I still loved it! While there's some things I wish were written more in depth, the book is amazing and I had such a blast reading it - and there's a lot of tough things that our characters have to deal with. I love that this book doesn't shy away from things like domestic abuse, or death, or try to dumb anything down for the children who had been reading. This series is great and I can't wait to continue on with it.
