Good clean reading. This series has adventure, comedy, mystery and more. I love it!

Grandkids loved it

I was so team Fitzphie while reading this book. Even though it was a LOT of bed rest I still just freaking devoured this thing. Love love love love love love love love love it!!

So good that I had to get the next book in the series.

This is one of my favorite series and while this is my least favorite installment of the series, I still had a really good time reading it. This book went to a much darker place than previous books have and it's always interesting to see how far these characters can be pushed. Shannon Messenger is a great writer and I look forward to seeing how the series continues to play out.That being said, the book that I received from Amazon is defective. I have read this installment before as a library book, as well as an e-book, and had no issues. The copy I received from Amazon, however, has a few errors. There is a page with text that has somehow been converted to dots and dashes, where I know text existed in the other versions. I am also missing page 662 in my copy, having two 666 instead. I'm not finished the book yet, so I'm not sure if other errors exist. It is a bit upsetting that I'm a slower reader and didn't notice these defects until after my return window had closed.I didn't want to lower my rating of the book, because my troubles aren't reflective of the content and I want to make it clear that I love the book.Update: I've now finished the book and there were several pages with big ink splotches in the text. Also, the final line of the book resembles the picture I've included previously. What happened with the printing of this book??

I liked this story because of the amazing plot and likable charcters

I ordered these books for my granddaughter. She has read 9 books (series), in about 1.5 years. She can't put them down until she's finished. She is 10 now. Keeps her off the Ipad, if you get my drift!Would highly recommend this series!

I'm not even done this book yet, but can't wait to get back to reading it! Would recomend!

My 11 year old and her friends just love this series!

She informed me that is the best book she had ever read (and she had read a lot).
