Opinion:
The Counterfeit Father was an extremely good read that was fun and fast-paced. One great example is when Tony tricked Hawes into letting him visit his cyber friend, Juniper. Going to visit Juniper was against Tony’s mother’s rules because of Tony’s health. Tony was a very well developed character, but wasn’t very believable in the real world. One example of this is his owning a pet monkey with an automated cage. Despite not being believable, I loved this book. I cannot wait for book two, because this book made me laugh out loud! I would recommend this book for all ages; everyone will love it.
