i like this book

[hvaluet_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This book is a very easy read, and it is nice and short for reluctant readers. The themes in the story centers around friendship and helping out a friend, which is something almost all teens can relate to. Obviously, since it was so short, it is lacking in some elements of character and plot development. Overall, though, it is a great book for students who have lower reading levels.
