hello,

at first I didn't like this book, because it started of pretty boring and quite hard to understand. but later it became better, I got to feel along with the characters and it had some tension. I don't want to give any spoilers so I won't say what happend, but if you wanna read this book I urge you to hold on to it and give it a serious try. it's not really long either so you can read it if you have a little spare time.

This was my favourite childhood novel.

I got this book from my school's library, they were giving away books because they were old or they had new versions of them.
I liked it, but I don't think it was memorable.
