What reviewers said
āShort sentences, generous line spacing, and amped-up pacing combine to ease reluctant teen readers into this tongue-in-cheek caperā¦A clever variation on the theme of intergenerational connections.ā
āFull of suspense and has a fast-moving plot, all packaged in its relatively short page length. The book is short, but not simplistic, and the content and themes are age-appropriate for teens. Highly Recommended.ā
