However, the book really didn’t match. There were numerous typos, or grammatical mistakes, which is hardly what you want in a book that is supposed to be for kids learning to read. I was also confused about what was happening in the first couple of chapters. I think it was because of odd syntax.
Perhaps this is an AI production? Or someone who doesn’t speak English as a first language? in any case, in second grade, I read tons of really excellently written books from the library that grew my reading speed phenomenally. I also write folks with limited vocabulary to help kids who are beginner readers, and I know it’s difficult sometimes to come up with sentences using that vocabulary. but these sentences, some of them, were way more twisted than the problems one encounters would explain. There were also cases where words were improperly used such as the word Brawn, which was used as if it meant brave. That is hardly a word for beginning readers anyway.
In addition, the narrative kept switching back-and-forth between present tense and past tense, which might’ve had a purpose, but is generally considered to be improper. And aren’t we supposed to be teaching kids the proper way to use the language?
This book is written for 8-12 year old grade schoolers, so I wasn't expecting much in way of deep characters and a deep plotline and electrifying action, but for the age group intended, I think it's okay. I think also that this book would've benefited immensely from a thorough grammatical editing before publishing; there are quite a few glaring errors with grammar and such that needed to be edited and corrected. Overall, though, I think the kiddos will like this book; I had fun reading it as an adult.
