This novel grabbed me from the very first page which actually fills me with shame because I acfually bought this book over a year ago.
I barely started reading it and its fantastic and very fast paced.
Its perfect for children because of the sense of adventure but personally I wish that the characters were just a bit more fleshed out.
I struggled sometimes to remember which child was which because they were described very quickly.
I look forward to the next installment regardless, and I'll probably solve the issue by being more familiar with these characters in the sequel.
