A couple of my seventh grade students have been nagging me to read this book, and I'm so glad I finally did! I couldn't put it down. So many times they suggest books for me to read that they love, but I end up thinking they're dreadful. BUT, not this one!

The beginning of the book was hilarious - one of the funniest I've read - and it was really clever humor. All of the sudden, the book takes a serious turn. There were parts that were a little slow, but the end was action packed, and there were many twists in the plot that were totally unexpected.

I wish the humor in the beginning was maintained throughout, but that's my only complaint. This was an "extraordinary" book!
