Review:
This is an awesome book! I really enjoyed it! Laurel Snyder is very interesting. Her writing style is quite odd. Sometimes it made me feel really excited and made me want to read more, and then sometimes it bored me a little. The characters are really the stars of the book. My favourite character was Jasper. The lonely, abandoned, sad, but very funny best friend of Leah! She not only made the book better but was the best character to make you cry! This book is totally a book that I would recommend. Although Warning: it is very sad! All in all I thought this was a great book and I would definitely read it again!
recommended ages 8-12
