Customer Reviews

An Enjoyable Read!

Although, for the most part, I enjoyed this preteen novel very much, there were places here and there where the characters and situations lost a little of their credibility for me. Brenda and Jerry sometimes seemed "too wise" for their years, Zoey seemed a little "too cool," and Craig apparently had no redeeming qualities at all. I still found this a delightful read, however, and look forward to reading some of Ms. Gorman's other books.
