This is a nostalgic re-read from my childhood and it's pretty much exactly how AI remembered it. As an older reader, I wouldn't necessarily say I enjoyed it, but it was written for kids so I can't be too picky. I thought the last few chapters were slightly rushed and I wished we would've had more focus there rather than on the run.
