Rating - 4.5 stars

Okay, this was a lot better than I was expecting. I assumed that since this was the backstory, it would most likely be slow, but it was pretty fast paced. I'm so glad that they kept the mysteriousness of Jackson, and to be honest, he seemed more mysterious in this compared to the show. It definitely adds to his character. I will say that I disliked that a couple of the other characters were written VERY differently, which I wasn't too much of a fan of. There were some things of the characters they took out, but also things they added to their personality that just wasn't my taste. That didn't affect the reading though...just a little pet peeve. And I still couldn't get over the outdated language; it bothered me so much, haha. xD But overall, the story was pretty intriguing for it revolve around a school election and the plot thicken regarding the missing money for their trip to Palau. I'll definitely continue reading this series!

Al inicio me molestó que hay varias cosas absurdas con la historia de la serie, y al final quedan otras varias absurdeces... pero a la vez me gustó mucho tanto la historia, la continuidad en personajes y los temas en el libro.

De por sí me cagaban Nathan y Daley como personajes, y era aburrido verlos competir. Luego Lex se volvió bastante castroso. Melissa aburría con su jeta de perro regañado y que sus diálogos eran 80% "perdón". Hasta Eric y Taylor en algunos momentos de la serie eran insoportables o demasiado pasados de lanza. Abby en un inicio me gustó pero en su regreso también fue un personaje odioso.

Y aquí, en la precuela, también un 50% es la competencia y el protagonismo de Daley y Nathan. Aunque Nathan tampoco se parece mucho al de la serie. Además, se supone que al inicio lo castigan, la novela dura como lo de una semana, pero al segundo día ya trae carro como si nada.

Taylor se siente mejor trabajada que en la serie, se llega a mostrar su fuerza e inteligencia.

Pero lo que me gustó fue Jackson, definitivamente tiene una historia fuerte y sólida para el personaje que bastante cargó la trama en la serie original. Me gustó bastante lo que se desarrolla sobre él.

Como novela adolescente también es buena, esos conflictos escolares que realmente a nadie le interesarían (y peor en querer obligar a adolescentes a leer) aquí sí tienen giros de trama y narrativas llamativas.

I read ten rules by Walter Sorrells. The book was a prequel to the tv show flight 29 down. In the book the camping club at school is planning a trip to an island. A new kid joins the club so they have to have a fundraiser to get more money. They raise enough money for the trip but they lose it. They eventually find it.

This book was a very funny and interesting book. I could understand it very well and was clear with the characters. In the begining of the book It clearly came out and told me as the reader who the characters are and what they are doing in school.
