This book is really good. It has a lot of action and adventure for a shorter book. I know that there will be a sequel because this is the first book in the chronicle. I loved the way this book flowed, and how the author used the drug addictions to her advantage. This book is for older kids; there was too much inappropriate stuff going on for it to be read by middle school kids.
