My thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group/Henry Holt and Co. for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

This book was a DNF for me. It was a tad to juvenile, BUT I can see where the appeal would be for younger readers who like cats, action, adventure and sailing/pirates. Definitely one I would recommend for sure, just not one I personally enjoyed.

It did have one of my pet peeves, the Harry Potter syndrome of "the adults know best, but they won't tell the children WHY and WHAT is going on, because just kids, causing the youth to make poor decisions based off of lack of information". I HATE that trope.

Three stars because I can see the potential, it just wasn't for me and the above pet peeve.
