I can see why this is such a popular middle grade series! It’s silly, interactive with the reader, and action packed. Such a great idea for a story. (

OMG. I read this book in like 20 minutes and loved it. It was hilarious and an easy read. I can easily recommend it to kids.

I will note that it is perfect for reluctant readers due there being lots of white space, larger font, and illustrations. All of it makes the book. Plus, it feels like the fourth wall is broken and the reader feels talked to! (
