Initial Response
Aww, that was so heartwarming! ^_^
High Lights
- Jensen is an adorable little cinnamon roll that needs a hug, okay?
- Jenny is...well, she's interesting, for sure. XD And Akilah is perfect for her. They balance themselves out quite evenly.
- The illustrations, of course, are FABULOUS. I love how much feeling Chmakova evokes in her images. I feel exactly how the characters feel.
- I love how diverse the people at Berrybrook Middle School are! I especially like the math tutor, who has arm braces to help him walk. I thought that was really neat to include that, and I'm actually really curious about him now...
- I hope Jensen becomes an astronaut someday. Really.
Low Lights
- None, really. I just really liked this cute book.
Conclusion
Well, considering I read it in one sitting, I'd say it's a good read! You don't have to have read the first book in order to understand this sequel. (Though I recommend you check out the first book, because it's ADORABLE.) This is a perfect, light summer read!
