Review title: A romp all right, but...
Product review: ... I have a bit of a problem with the treatment of Pet. I can allow Ellen's lust for revenge against a prim and prissy Stephanie--after all, children are vicious, sometimes, to each other, and I felt it was clear that this ongoing battle between the two girls was clearly depicted as such; in fact, Edgar and Ellen are also well-explained as deviant mentalities. But to have the two of them mistreat an animal (of whatever sort it is) seems to promote such treatment of animals as fun, or cool, somehow. I found that disturbing.The characters are one-dimensional, but after all, this is what it is--a tale of two evil imps on yet another crusade to destroy something they feel is in their megalomaniacal way.I think a parent could do better in choosing summer reading for his/her child.
