Review: Usually I'm a fan of Joan Bauer books. But this one I couldn't even force myself to finish. It wasn't the story itself--at least, I don't think. The grammar was absolutely horrendous. I don't know if this book skipped the editor and they had a fourth grader type it, but there were mistakes on every page. I found it so frustrating I only made it halfway through. If you can stand the grammatical errors, you may enjoy this book--Joan Bauer has proven herself to be a good writer in the past. But the difficulty reading this book overpowers the story that may be there.
