Checked it out from one of my local libraries - I think that it was either not properly coded or misplaced on the shelf. It obviously targets juvenile audience, and of course, the tone and the complexity of the biography and the adventure are someowhat subdued.

I enjoyed the artwork in the book, and the educator in me enjoyed the vocabulary list with the definitions.

There was one very obvious numerical typo that hopefully will be addressed in the subsequent editions.
