If you are looking for a good read during your lunch break at work, this one might be a good one for you.  If you think about the nature of a short story vs. a novel, the obvious difference is the short story has one heck of a lot less words. No kidding, you might say? Well, because of that fact, the author has to be really good - and fast - to capture your attention, define the problem / main story line, then wrap it all up for a conclusion vs. having the ability to drone on and on for 100,000+ words (kind of like the length of this sentence). The author does a great job grabbing your attention and understanding what is going on, and wraps it up with a good conclusion that wants you being able to read a little more.This was a good short story for this middle-aged guy, and I could see this one being popular, also, with late elementary / early middle school kids.  I'm looking forward to reading volume 2 of the series.
