Dear lord.
Pros:
-It's a cool concept.
-It has a semi-well-done theme.
-Bodhi is cool.
-Buttercup can fly.
-There's a plot.
Cons:
-I want to kill Riley.
-She's so stupid.
-Where are the adults?
-Why was she thrust into this world without being told what she's doing?
-The writing is terrible. (Was anyone else getting a "poison for Kuzco" vibe?)
-The writing is obviously purposefully dumbed down for the younger target age.
-DON'T DO THAT!
I remember liking this book when I was ten. This book is perfect for ten year olds, because they think the twelve year old protagonist is "just like me" and they don't care about crappy writing. The only reason I continue to read is that I own all of these piles of shit.
