I wanted to enjoy this as the premise sounded super promising, but ultimately I was left wanting more from both the characters and the plot itself.

This was a beautifully done middle grade novel, I was invested in the story and enjoyed the way Jaclyn Moriarty wrote this. The characters worked for the plot and still felt like real people so I was excited to go on this journey with them. I look forward to reading more from Jaclyn Moriarty, as I really enjoyed reading this.
