Negative Positive
Title: Mediocre at best.
Review: This book had an interesting concept, but the writing itself simply wasn't very good. On the surface it seems good, a young girl sets off to solve a mystery, save her town, and reveal a traitor. All with the help of some animal friends. Unfortunately the excecution of the story simply wasn't very good. The girl doesn't really solve the mystery, she merely wanders about and people explain things to her. She doesn't actually save the town, or herself. That doesn't make her a strong female protaganist, that makes he a helpless little girl. Not appealing.There were also a lot of plot holes. I know this is a children's book, but children aren't dumb. They deserve a tight, cohesive story and good characters. This book really didn't have either. I'm assuming the later books get better as the author improved his craft, but I don't know if I want to risk my money or time on them.
Is the review positive or negative?
