3.0

The first novel in Edward’s story. It all started with an itch, an itch he couldn’t scratch in the middle of his back. Edward is a lonely boy who has lost his mother, and is bullied in school; all he wants is to be normal and fit in. Well when Mr. Spines shows up to rescue him from imprisonment by evil Whiplash Scruggs, he learns a lot about himself. One, he isn’t human; two, his mother needs rescuing. The novel was one adventure after another, with some good dialogue. The plot was good, taking the reader on mythical adventure. The novel ends right when the action is at it’s highest, so the reader must wait until the next novel to find out what is going to happen next. The characters are very versatile, and very different. The characters all have distinguishable characteristics that helped move the plot and novel along. Overall, it was a good attempt at a first novel; hopefully the second one is better.
