Reviews

[Twyla · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favorite part was when Vernon was caught and unable to escape from Ben again. My least favorite part was that they were still having to move at the end of the book, although at least Hildy had accepted it. I wish that there were more books in this series, but this is the last.

[Summer Reading · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has a lot of action. It's fun to read, and the characters are interesting. It's not as suspenseful as the subject might suggest, but it's middle grade. Overall, I really enjoyed re-reading this series.
