I am so glad I took a chance on this book and this indie author because this book was terrific!! K.J. Bennett has created a whole world set well in the future (called the New Dawn), with a quirky cast of characters that I can just describe as hilarious!

Very amusing and suitable for most ages, I think this is a great book to read. Someone please publish this! :)
