[Oswald · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book isn't good It's is very boring as all it's about is a boy called Pablo that has the ability to predict the future by drawing. He gets kidnapped by some people that want to use his power to get money. I didn't really like this book.

[Hannah · Rating 3 out of 5]

At the beginning its great! But then it starts going downhill from there. It starts becoming slightly cheesy from there.

[Adrian · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was great in the beginning, then it starts to get really boring after the kidnapping.

oh man, i forgot all about this book till i stumbled upon it in a secondhand bookshop. I bought it in primary school when they would have annual book fairs come. We would receive pamphlets selected for various levels in advance. I would enthusiastically tick all the ones I wanted and hand it to my mum for approval. Get a few notes in my wallet, zoom all the way down during recess and go home with a bag full of new books. This was one of them. I enjoyed it well enough, I remember finding it unique and really trippy. I remembered that I really liked the illustrations too.
