Goodreads Summary

Looking for a children's book this Christmas?  This book might be a great gift for a young boy or middle grade reader.  The illustrations added that perfect bit to the book that brought it to a higher level; it was easier to picture the characters, plots, and scenes and any young reader will appreciate the illustrations.  The characters are inventive, as well as their names; the characters are very memorable over all. 

The events are perfectly paced for a younger reader.  The plot was easy to follow and interesting.  The author was very detailed, though a reader can still use his/her imagination at times.  There were plenty of funny events that will make a reader laugh as well as some more serious scenes that will have the reader waiting for the next scene in anticipation.  The secondary characters rounded out the novel, the reader will also enjoy getting to know them. 

If you are a parent looking for an enjoyable, humorous book for your middle grade child, this is a great Christmas present.  The characters are engaging and unique, the plot was fast-paced and interesting, and the book is likely to hold your child's attention.
