read this just to hit reading goals while sitting in the library, not a great choice despite the nice art! text is to small, plot unintelligible, characters annoying even for a middle grade book

really compelling but maybe more words than needed to convey the story, and definitely not as intense as I was hoping for. definitely made me laugh but isn't what I was hoping for

love the use of tension and love the style of prose! I think the ending could have used a little bit more time but it was wonderfully read

something about the way Chuck Tingle writes tickles my brain!! loved the prose and also the twists. wish the side characters had a bit more personality but enjoyed the found family dynamic. some themes were explained a little bit on the nose but I enjoyed them so much all the same
