I was given a copy of this book free in exchange for an honest review. Here goes.**********************************************************************************************************Edited Review:The formatting issues were cleaned up by the author, making it a more polished book.As such, I have changed from three stars to four stars.**********************************************************************************************************This is a cute book that is geared for, in my mind, younger audiences. The story is easy to read, easy to follow and has some interesting twists and turns. I really like the idea and the content of the story.That said, there are some structural issues to talk about. The formatting on the paragraphs was a little tight. I might have used a space and a half. There are mystery question marks (?) here and there, and usually mid-sentence. Dialog was plentiful, but we could have used a few more tags to help us identify just who was speaking. Ands when used, the tags come before the dialog. I haven't seen this before. It made the dialog clunky and chunky for me.All in all, I liked the story and would recommend this to grade school children. Some of the book structure and formatting needs a little work for this to become a 4 star hit.
