I enjoyed the first half of this book but then it just felt like it dragged on and on....my second least favorite Printz Winner.
ReplyDeleteI will admit that the first 150 pages flew by with me barely noticing and then it took on a slower (but still firm) pace. Perhaps it could've been shaved down a bit to keep up the initial pace.
