The moral of this story is “The thing that makes you different, is the thing that makes you astounding!”

I like this book because it was exciting and I wanted to read on.

At the beginning I found it difficult to understand what was going on but I soon got into the story and wanted to continue reading it.

I recommend this book to 10+ adventure readers.

I give it 9/10.
