Yes this is supposed to be a book for young adults and I'm closer to 30 than I am to 20, but this thing quietly at very enjoyable book. A well crafted story of daughter-granddaughter relationships and how you need friends When you want to fight evil. For the length of the book Whipple did a very good job in plotting the story. It never gets boring or "crowded", the plot Merely speeds up slightly in the Last Fight, Which gives the illusion of action, something a lot of writers of young adult fiction are not so good at. I am more than content with my choice and now wants to give it to my much younger cousin. I bet she'll like this one as well.
