I really liked this story. I found it hilarious and really engaging. Cal and Dewey and the side characters were all delightful, even Mac. The narrative voice really worked for me. There were many passages in the book that I just wanted to read out loud to someone because it was so funny.Unfortunately, this desperately needs some proofreading. There were many typos and misused words (e.g. your/you're, passed/past, insure/ensure, throws/throes). There were also several instances of apostrophe and quotation mark misusage, as well as a few sentences that didn't make sense. All of this pulled me out of the story. I really expect better no matter what kind of book I'm reading, but especially from a publisher at such a high price point.
