" This is a fun book for young people to read, and there are many good lessons to be learned from it. I like the themes of loyalty, friendship, family relationships, standing up for what you believe, and protecting the environment. The author falls short, however, of addressing some other important issues in a meaningful way. Hiassen tries to put humor in scenes of bullying and vandalism, two things that are never humorous and should not be taken lightly, especially in this day and age. That is where my disappointment in the book comes. The good still outweighs the bad, however, and I think it is a worthwhile story. "
