This book is a very exciting adventure that goes by pretty fast. I would recommend to people who enjoy realistic fiction . Virginia Hamilton does a fine job of putting this book together. The ending is one of the best parts of this book. I recommend this book to all 10-15 year old children.
stupid, stupid. the other reviewer said 10-15 year olds would like it. maybe 8-10 year olds. the mom is pretty scary. i'm not reading anymore hamilton.
