Laura S. reviewed on 5/30/2012

Terrible. the writing is extremely juvenile and the spacing of the margins seem indie as opposed to published by professionals. I do understand this is a childrens book but I have read indie middle grade books that displayed better writing style and had better formatting. The terrible writing is especially obvious when the main character's half brother tells the tale of the illfated journey and the main character inwardly states his half brother really knows how to spin a tale yet that tale is poorly told and choppy. I can hardly believe HarperCollins was involved in the production of this book, it doesn't seem well edited for content or sentence structure.
