My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a quick ebook read on my Droid. A perfect sort of book to read on an airplane or waiting for a taxi. Mitchard has dramatically stripped down her style for this early YA compared to her adult fiction. I would have liked richer detail and character development, but with a writer as talented as Mitchard, the bare bones prose still works. Not as absorbing as her adult tales but entertaining nonetheless.
