This is the first Orca Soundings book I've read. Designed for reluctant readers, they are all short (not even really long enough to be considered a novel) with large type and simple words. But in spite of all of that, I don't think this book talked down to the reader and I was pleased by the ambiguous ending. The author could have had a different ending and then the Moral Of The Story would have hung heavy in the air, but instead she left the reader wondering a bit. I think teen girls would like this.
