Mammoth Trouble by D. Robert Pease
3.0
This was a surprisingly good read! I was a little hesitant at first because it's not something I would typically read. Especially it being more for a younger audience, but I was pleasantly surprised.
I'll admit I was a bit confused in the beginning because I didn't really understand what was going on, but as the story progressed it wasn't hard to follow. Though for me the story really picked up once Noah reunited with his father (not going to say where, don't want to ruin anything!).
The writing was good, I liked Noah's character development and Pease didn't fail to bore. Though some of the little "twists" were a little predictable I was still surprised. And I managed to laugh at some parts.
The minor problems for me would be the fact that Haon didn't really seem like a villian to me. I felt like he was more of a misunderstood, problematic character and not a villian. As well as Noah himself, yes he progressed as a character and he was 12 but there was something about him I didn't totally love. Maybe he was too young for me? Too naive? Not too sure but I still enjoyed the story and book. Look forward to reading the next in the series!
