Review
Oh my this was a fun book! I've already recommended this to half a dozen people. I found this story absolutely fun and exciting and I just couldn't put it down. I read it straight through. The cover first grabbed my attention ( I'm a sucker for a good cover!) and I wasn't disappointed at all in the book. The book is imaginative and keeps the readers interest. It is well written and the action keeps moving. I can't wait for the next book to come out and read about more of the adventures of Nick and his new found family. I give this one an easy 5/5.
