Review: Good adventure, too many coincidences

This book probably targets a younger readership. I am far too old and jaded now, can't turn off my critical eye while reading. A 4 stars if you are young adult, as the simplistic plot and naive characters may not detract from the adventure. Unfortunately a 3 stars otherwise. Even though I liked the premise, the plot has just too many highly improbable events happening right after the other. It broke my suspension of disbelief engine time after time. I'd say the adventure itself has all the hallmarks of a good coming of age story, but it relies too much on incredible coincidences.
