Worst book I've ever read. Honestly. I don't think it deserves even 1 star. A student of mine has written a better story than this in 200 words.

My 10th grade students chose this for our virtual book club in the last 6 weeks of our school year. I forced myself to read the chapters each day before our meeting. My students and I discussed how terrible the syntax and dialogue were almost each meeting. High school students could recognize how poor the writing is.

I've told my students almost daily (before quarantine) if they want to be better writers and readers, then they have to read more books. This book is not the type of book that would make them a better writer.
