Simone LaFray was a very good middle grade. I greatly enjoyed the very descriptive writing, and the atmosphere created by it!
The intrigue built and built with the story, and with the mystery element in the midst i doubted most character's motivations. The author took great care in plot to built a good mystery that wasn't obvious to the reader. Some chapters were more "filler" or character development, and it broke the action a bit, but it was understandable.
I liked the characters, and i feel like i know them enough for a middle grade novella. Simone read like an old-soul 12 year old, justified with her being a "gifted child". I'd be interested to see how our knowledge of the remaining cast develops in the series and how that helps us with the overarching intrigue of the series.
