The character is in 8th grade, but I really think the book skews younger than that-I don't really see many middle schoolers picking it up-I would say around 3-5th grade with some 6th grade appeal. It's a good mystery, just not anything to really think about and solved pretty quickly.GreenBeanTeenQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708155058381407531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-10468376719541857612010-09-14T11:15:35.745-05:002010-09-14T11:15:35.745-05:00Nice review...I have a lot of 6th graders in my mi...Nice review...I have a lot of 6th graders in my middle school who still really like the "youngish" stuff they could find in the elementary library so this might be right up their alley!

Do you think it has appeal to older readers as well or would they tire of the voice? Lately, some of the tween books I've read feel like I'm being talked down to. That's not exactly the right phrase...but I feel like it's written for little kids. I like reading MG books that have a more universal voice - appeals to adults and kids.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.com
