I genuinely liked this book, even though I rarely read books for YA crowd.Pros:1. Very easy to read.2. An interesting plot with a very surprising twist at the end that neatly sets up next volume, 'The Sky is Falling'.3. Characters are complex, especially Ben. Sometimes frustrating, often unpredictable but always likeable.Cons:1. I wish book had a table of contents. It is just a personal quirk of mine :)2. I would probably raise recommended reading age to 16 plus but perhaps I am just a bit old-fashioned.I am looking forward to reading 'The Sky is Falling' to see how Ben and Skye search is continuing.Solid five stars.
