I would give this book a 10. It keeps the reader interested the whole way threw. It is appealing to both girls and boys of every age. Also The author makes up all kinds of outrageous situations and you’ll have no idea what he’s talking about but then he’ll compare it to something everyone knows about so you get a really clear picture in your head.
