" This was a fun read-aloud. The narrator's intrusions, which might've been annoying had I been reading to myself, were entertaining when I could use them to pique my daughter's suspense. (It might've helped, too, that we read intermittently, rather than every day.) I loved the use of synesthesia, though I suspect its representation here was tweaked for plot purposes. I also appreciated that the material sometimes posed an intellectual stretch for my 8-yr-old, without venturing into "mature" subject matter. She would probably give it 5+ stars. "
