My overall opinion: It was a good book, fairly fast-paced – something was always happening. It was chock full of daring adventures, daring but believable, and almost all carried out by kids. It was exciting, and easy to read. The characters were well-drawn and easy to understand. The whole book was pretty believable, actually. I ended up feeling like it was a little long – not unbelievable, not that the story was slow…just that it went on and on, and I guess I got a little bored with it. It didn’t end up being a favorite book for me, but I wouldn’t have any issues with recommending it to others. I would especially recommend it for tweens and teens.
Comes out March 19!

Sounds like a great read for younger readers which in today's society is rare. Just because a novel is for YA/Teens, doesn't automatically make it age-appropriate. It's sad really. :)
Yes, Rissi, I'd say it was certainly age-appropriate. You're right about it being harder to find that...I reviewed a book called "Graceling" a while back. Well-written, fun to read...but blatantly showed that living together instead of marrying was fine. Ummm, NO! Written for elementary kids too. It was sad. :(
