Customer Reviews

YA content with Elementary aged writing

The content within this trilogy is definitely on the YA side, but the writing style of the author heavily leans towards elementary aged style (short sentences, very few complex words or sentences longer than ~10 words). If you/your kid isn't a super strong reader but want the "older" content, this would be a good fit. Nonetheless, I enjoyed reading it, but did find it hard to get through the third book.
