This book was exactly what my 10 year old self would’ve devoured and loved. Even many years later I still adore this series and this book was no different. Maybe it’s the nostalgia but this was everything I didn’t know I needed as a 21 year old ADHD ridden college student doing their best

The pacing and dropping of very important things gave me whiplash and I could see the “plot twists” a mile away, but I still had a good time.

The only thing keeping it from a 5⭐️ is the part with the “mom” being sort of confusing and a bit funky
