Title: Depressing - NOT for pre-teens
Product review: The 12-year-old protagonist is a loser, with miserable parents and cruel companions. The author sends him on a journey populated with unpleasant, scary characters. Each episode offers another bout of misery. Perhaps a 15-year-old reader (in the midst of adolescent angst) would identify with this pathetic soul -- but what 15-year-old wants to read about a suffering 12-year-old ? No pre-teen should be subjected to this depressing tale, no teen would be interested, and this adult found the book tedious and needlessly violent. Give it a miss.
