Title: Strictly for Pre-Teens, not a good "cross-over" novel
Review: Some young adult novels are good "cross-over" novels and have the ability to entertain and engross all ages (i.e. Harry Potter, Series of Unfortunate Events, Earthsea, etc.). This, unfortunately, isn't one of those novels. I can't even say that the writing would be a good "teen read." In fact, I would place it in the "pre-teen" caetegory.The writing, per se, is not bad, but for an adult reader, not terribly engrossing. I liked the concept, but did not find it to be much of a page turner, perhaps because the characters were not depicted in depth enough early on to draw me in. A mediocre read.
Is the review positive or negative?
