Genre: Adventure/Children's Fiction

Grade Level: 5-8

Readers who will like this book: I think young boys would be more apt to read and thoroughly enjoy this book. Although any child with a great imagination and taste for adventure could easily get pulled in.

Personal Response: This was definitely a children's adventure book. I couldn't find myself drawn to any of the characters in the book or being able to be fully into it, but my daughter (whom I read it with) really seemed to enjoy it. I personally rate this book at a 2, however, I think children would rate it much higher.

A question you would ask before reading: Does anyone ever wish they could go on an adventure? If so, what kind?
