This YA novel surprised me with a terrific storyline, and wonderful characters. I found myself staying up late to finish, and I can hardly wait for the next book in the series. While there is some language and romance, this is appropriate for the mature middle schooler. I will give this to my 13 year old granddaughter to read.
I enjoyed this book a lot!
This was an E-Book from Net Galley for review.
