Not sure what audience this is for, older than 9-10 but maybe for the 14-? ages
Engel makes the location sound like a bunch of hillbillies and I didn't like that theme
Story was mostly told in 'thought' form with not a lot of dialogue, don't like that format either
For me just not a very well written book
