Mom bought this for me from her KL trip and I think about it fondly now and then. I was eleven when I read this for the first time and it meant a lot to me.

I'm really torn between giving this book 2 stars or 3
Because I kind of enjoyed it but At the same time I didn't get to experience that sense of adventure and thrill which I usually get when reading children's books.
I really didn't like the characters in this one. They felt flat and without depth as if they were there to serve one purpose which is the mole comfort.
And probably the most character I hated was the mole, he was so arrogant, selfish, butt-hurt, self centered, manipulative, insensitive, irritating, easily offended ( provoking ppl into offending him), and unfeeling.
Also the story felt really chopped up there's no linke between events whatsoever. A lot of the things don't make sense.
I didn't entirely hated it but I couldn't care less for what had happened for the mole.
I imagined that Bet and the mole would go an adventure in search for somebody to help him reverse what happened (that would've been super cool). With that being said; this by no means a bad book it just not what I thought it would be and it would have been better. #verysad
