A fun, action-filled book for avid and reluctant readers. The characters are funny and likable. The plot is well-developed and fast-paced. The level of imagination that went into creating this book's alternate world is amazing and is easy for readers to follow. Readers who like fantasy, adventure, action, and the idea of saving a school will enjoy reading this book. It is recommended, however, that you read the first one. EL (4-6), MS. ADVISABLE.
