Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: Not yet rated
Kids say: Not yet rated

First-time author Seth Fishman's fast-paced drama makes for fun, if light, reading. Kids will easily relate to believably flawed heroine Mia, who overcomes her fears and stays loyal to her friends. The action and tension build nicely and keep the pages turning. In Mia, Fishman creates a realistic female voice to carry the suspenseful story.

The plot and characters are well developed but not deep, and the unsatisfying conclusion reads more like the setup for a series. Don't look for a lot of literary merit here, but it's a solid choice for an older teen looking for a guilty pleasure.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
