Pure Gin-ious

This is easily the best book of the series so far. Chapter 1: Gin tries to teach a tomboy to attract Ko. Chapter 2: Gin goes with Minako and Ko to a women-only public bath. Chapters 3-5: Gin meets a white osprey, whose nest is threatened. Chapter 6: Minako suffers heat exhaustion Chapter 7: Mike tries to become a rebel. Chapter 8: Minako gets to use a cellphone while at a beach. Chapter 9: Gin deals with a bunch of perverts who work at a haunted house. Chapter 10: Minako gets sunburned and the osprey returns. The addition of Misako the osprey brings new life into the series, as Gin gets someone to counsel him about his state. The entire book is light fare, and I only regret that I can't rate this book a 6.
