I think that this book is very good and you should read it! If you like adventure you will enjoy this book. This book is really hard to read and if you are a good reader then you should read it.

  1. Great book report, Cameron! I'm happy that you liked this book, and I'm glad to have challenged you with it. We indeed need to discuss the ending. Nancy Farmer has some other good books out too.
