Loved the story line even as an adult, and much in the lines of Percy Jackson, Wings of Fire, Harry Potter; yet less dark so suitable for audiences of all ages. I enjoyed the banter between the two main characters, Frank and Jon, and the connection they have being twins.
The role of minor characters is also important in this book, which I think sends a positive message that not everyone needs to be a lead character/person to make an impact in the world. The mystery aspect of this book was intriguing, and even as an adult I didn't guess the culprit until he was revealed. I enjoyed learning about the different classes the 10 year olds attend, and the author does a great job "showing" instead of boringly giving a syllabus. Overall, I recommend this read!
