"I hadn't heard of this book until recently when I came across it by chance. It isn't very long, but the story is very entertaining. I read this on my Kindle, and I loved it so much that I decided I needed a copy for my library. This would be great for boys or girls middle school aged and up. "

" A nice little book. Could have done with a bit more fleshing-out, however. Some of the fight scenes were very confusing but other than these little flaws, the book was an enjoyable read. "
