Review: Might be tolerable if you're 13 or 14

I'm convinced that the rave reviews given to a lot of books by new authors either come from relatives, close friends or maybe even the authors themselves. Why else could this short story possibly have so many five star reviews?I read this in one sitting. It's basically one scene with a few flashbacks thrown in to provide context. The writing is basic, which is why I suggest this is a book for tweenies. For example, who actually says ''I do not think that is correct''? The action was predicable and the bad guy, well, not very scary.This story is the first of a series about the Fearlings. I will make it a point not to read the others.
