I love this book. Love love love this book. It's such a fun mix of tech sci-fi and fantasy. It holds up super well to multiple readings--I think I've read it about five times now. I highly recommend it to anyone 5th grade and up. (I probably read it for the first time around 6th or 7th grade.) It's a super fun adventure with relatively little romance and with a very strong, relatable female lead. It has so many memorable characters and is STILL laugh out loud funny even when I knew what was coming.
(Also, even though I said there's not much romance, Giannine and Nigel are OTP. A girl can dream.)
