Fun book. I hadn't realized it was YA, put it on my list long ago. I enjoyed the fun adventures within the story. Highly influenced by manga, it felt a bit like watching shows some of the shows I enjoyed with my children long ago. I may need to look into the series further. I'm curious how long it takes Zane to realize that Jason "likes" him ;)

Great book, kept me riveted. Ask my husband, I start many books but finish few. This was well written and captivating. The writer has a way of making the reader feel they are actually experiencing all the action happening. I loved the small injections of wit, as well. A story of loyalty and perseverance. Looking forward to the next book and the adventures this cohesive group of friends encounter.
