This book will take you on a journey of self-discovery, kindness, and fun.
Best book just like Rick Riordan's.
I'll explain plot to you joywolf later
Clement makes good books. I love his books. He's a good author. Most of my friends love him.
I enjoyed this book, liked the story, and even got emotional at the end, but it seemed very "bare bones" -- almost like the outline of a story, without being fully fleshed out. I would have liked to know more about all of the characters and to have seen more of what happens to and with them. Maybe Clements was trying to write for younger readers here, or maybe he was just trying to finish the book quickly, but this story was good enough that I would have liked there to be more of it. It seemed sort of incomplete and didn't go into as much depth with either the characters or the story as Clements's books usually do.
Not Clements's best book. It could have told the same story in half the time. Still, parts were interesting and kids will probably enjoy it.
