Y’all. This is so bad that I almost want to give it 5 stars for the sheer audacity. It surpassed even my low expectations.
It reads like the publisher sponsored a “write the next Nancy Drew mystery!” contest at a high school and this was the “winner”. The only other plausible explanation for this hot mess of a MG book is nepotism. But, hey, it checked off a reading challenge prompt so I can’t call it a total waste of the hour and a half it took me to read it.
