A review by doulicia
The Seventh Level by Jody Feldman
1.0
I thought this was horrible. My 12y-o son liked it. But it's my review, so I give it my stars. I just thought I'd mention his assessment so someone doesn't despair if her child brings this home to read.
The story was needlessly complicated. Too many red herrings and pointless plot twists come up. A theme is "things aren't always as they appear," but the author gives us evidence supporting one assessment, then tells us to disregard it later. I lost patience with it.
The plot was contrived, too. A secret middle school group condoned? organized? supported? tolerated? by the school administration? Kids sworn to secrecy even from their parents and teachers? Nope.
