[Amanda · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is a very quick read and I think little kids ages 6 & up will like this book.

I had this book on my shelf for awhile so I dicided to pick it up and read it so I could get rid of it. I thought it would have been a lot better than it was but I still think some people will like it.
