This sequel focused more on Moose and less on Natalie, as she was away at school for part of the book. I really liked how Moose's character and motivation were more deeply explored -- why he's such a nice guy and how being a people-pleaser doesn't always work out. The plot was more focused and action-driven than the first book, which worked for me and probably works well for the target audience.
