I must say that I have enjoyed reading this book much more than the Magic Tree House Series. This is definitely more my style. The plot is more intricate and the characters are more developed. I am somewhat surprised that this is a 5th grade reading level. It seems more advanced, but that is just my opinion. The twists throughout the plot kept me reading. The characters were highly developed and continued to surprise me with their actions and the relationships they formed through the novel. The descriptive nature of literature was also more my style. I could picture the settings including the hideout and the overall nature of the city. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed by the book and I would definitely read this book in my class and do a study of the author as well. She is a very talented artist indeed. Great choice!

Rachel, I was equally suprised that this book is on a fifth grade reading level. The characters, relationships, and plot were very detailed. I could easily see a typical fifth grader getting confused during some parts. At the beginning, I often found myself having a hard time distinguishing the characters and their different personalities.
