Entertaining and fun but definitely targeted toward a younger audience. I've read a lot of juvenile fiction that felt a bit more general and that I enjoyed as an adult but this one felt younger than others. I still enjoyed the story and premise and enjoyed for what if is. Great for kids but probably just ok for most adults.
