Could Not put this book down!!

I didn't realize when I bought it that it was geared towards a younger audience but as a retired person, once I started reading it I became involved with the story and the characters that I could not put it down until the end!! So, make time, because once you start you will want to just keep reading!! I can't wait to get the next one. I have a friend who's grandson is 9 years old and an avid reader so I will be passing this wonderful book to him as I know he will enjoy it as much as I have.
