Editorial Reviews

Temple is a very well thought out and well described character. I like the way the author described his devotion to Bell. There are plenty of funny moments throughout the book that made me smile and a couple that outright made me laugh. There were a few parts in the book that I couldn't see even a young teenager believing, but for the most part this was pretty fun. There is also a bit of sweet romance. This book is very age-appropriate for the 11 to 14 age group.

This is a feel-good book, and th
