Klune is a master at writing precocious, funny kids that make you fall in love with them. There were definitely aspects of this book that have already been done before, but I loved the relationship dynamics. I found myself laughing at the things Artemis would say, and then tearing up at the end. Of course, part of my feelings towards the book might be wrapped up in the fact that had I been choosing a name for myself as a young child, there was definitely a time when I would have chosen something way too close to Artemis Darth Vader. But I think a lot more has to do with this book just being sweet and heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time.
