I do wish this was written like the first book in these retellings, but I also know it’s for younger audiences (and each one is written by a different person)… however this felt like I was transported right back to eighth grade in the way that I would be frustrated by how I could never find books that fit my reading “level.” The point of view was pretty interesting, but like I said, I would have rather have had this book feel like the first than what it was. Still enjoyable :))
