I didn't like: The plot was about as predictable as a Hardy Boys novel, with a smattering of romance thrown in. I had the story line predicted and key characters pegged correctly from about the third chapter.
I liked: The authors obviously did their research. Real people and places are woven in nicely with the fictional.
Overall, I'd recommend this book for a young teen audience. It's a decent, wholesome read, and it could potentially be a springboard for discussion.
