Opinion:
I would highly recommend this thrilling book. I liked it because there was a lot of adventure and many cliffhangers. The adventure involves Sam and JoJo, who go on a journey to put Sam's abusive stepfather in prison. The story was well-written. I didn't want to put it down! Because of the mature subjects, I would recommend this book to kids ages 13 and up.
