This book has a fast pace, and is a quick read. There's adventure, mystery, and character development.
I was drawn in within the first 10 pages or so, even though I'm an adult so am far out of the target demographic for this story. It held my attention throughout, and I was entertained by the journey that unfolded for Aaron and his sidekicks.
The writing style is very straightforward, being a middle-grade book, and this is one that would be best enjoyed by those in that age range; I think readers around the ages of 10-11 would really appreciate this book. I will definitely recommend it when asked for book suggestions for this age range.
I read an advanced copy, and there's minor clean-up that's needed in the storytelling to really bring it together, but all in all, I can see this being a good start to an intriguing series.
