Discussion: Haven't gotten to it yet, but one of my 8th graders told me this should be the next book I read- she loved it! -Lucia, WML, Stratham

I found this one a bit confusing, with an abundance of threats (the Ruby AND the army AND the mysterious guy AND the mysterious parents AND) creating many plot threads that didn't tie up at the end, leaving much unknown for the obvious sequel. The writing was a bit too formulaic and sleek for me, however the characters were generally likable and the plot, while crowded, definitely kept the pages turning. - Yvette, Merrimack
