sjess94 's review for:
The Unusual Suspects
by Michael Buckley
Personal Rating: 4 Stars!
Middle-Grade Recommendation Rating: 5 Stars!
Rating middle grade is hard, at least for me. This may be because this is my first time reading middle grade that isn't Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, which are books, that I personally feel, are not written exclusively to middle grade kids. I am reading this series by request, and, though I enjoyed this book to an extent, it does carry an overall juvenile feel to it that slightly diminishes my reading experience. I obviously can't hold that against the story, because it is written for children, so I have decided to create two separate reviews for this series: a personal rating which reflects my own current preferences, and a "middle-grade recommendation rating" which is my rating if I was recommending it to kids between the ages of 8 and 12. The star rating will be based on a combination between the two. Sorry for the long explanation!
