Well, I had to read this book for summer reading. I honestly thought it was going to be terrible, and the first few pages were. but after I actually got into it, I could not put the book down. I really recommend this book if you can stand a couple of bad beginnings.

I had to read this book for school, and I loved it! It was definitely the kind of book I like to read (adventure, twists in the plot, betrayal, and a little bit of mystery). I have friends my age who hated it, though. I can see where they are coming from. They said that Widge (the main character) was such a lame character. They also said that something else should have happened with Julien. I didn't think that at all, but some people may think the way my friends think.
