Opinion:
I really like this book. It is filled with many descriptive words that paint the setting of the story for you. In my opinion, the detail goes on for a little too long at times. In the end, it leaves us wondering what is going to happen to Rachel and Jason, but closes the plot of this story while leaving it open for the next book. I would recommend this book to anybody ages 8-16, although anyone older would enjoy it too. It is a really good book that I could not put down.
