The book had a good story line and seems like a good book for middle school age. The quality of the paperback is not great. I’ve only read the book once and the cover is already peeling up. I bought the second book as well. I enjoyed that book more than the first and would rate that a 4 out of 5. The cover on the second book is also peeling but not as bad as the first. These are the first books I have bought that the covers peeled after reading one time.
