For the life of me, I could not get into this book. I kept forcing myself to pick it up, but at 40% complete, I still had no interest in where the story was going, and I gave up. The writing really isn't bad, and it's hard for me to pinpoint why I wasn't more invested in the story. I like it that the main character keeps trying things. He's not an inert lump who only moves when pushed by other actors in the story (which is often the case in Middle Grade). I appreciated that. And the story seems pretty fresh and original. But... I don't know. It just didn't do anything for me. I'm not posting a review on goodreads or my blog because I didn't finish it, but neither am I going to spend any more time on it.

A great and intriguing tale! I will be purchasing copies for my cousins (age 12)!
