Review: Great Action Packed MG Story!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Really loved this new book by Monica Shaughnessy. Have read her other work but it's slanted more to the YA market. This one is MG all the way. Unique male hero who has a disease that prevents him from being out in the sun (without risking potentially lethal burns). He uses his ability to be comfortable in the dark to fight crime in the small town of Winterville with his sidekick (but don't tell her that!) Jinx.  The story is packed with action, adventure and good humor. The dialogue is snappy and engaging and the characters are all unique and memorable. I also loved the twist at the end. While I kept the book to myself the first time I read it, I'm definitely going to share it with my kids - they'll love it. Any moms looking for a good summer read for the young teen market should check this one out!
