Review
Sarah Prineas amazes me again, she creates a world that for most living in it might seem with so little possibilities but in Conn's eyes you see a world full of possibilities even when you feel like giving up this smart boy doesn't let you and pushes you to continue not only reading but also enjoying the beginning of his journey, and leaves you with this sensation that the characters in the book are not saying good bye but that they will be waiting for you in the next installment of this series waiting for you to share their adventures.
This book is one I would love my little cousins to read, it has several teachings that are mostly missing in the lives of young kids today, she touches subjects like protecting the environment, bullies and if people are defined for their past or they're family ties.
This book has also this cute and funny detail that, it has a secret language hidden within it's pages and you get to see how to decipher it.
