I received a free ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

After reading the synopsis and a few of the reviews, I thought this sounded like a great book. While I do think the idea for it is great and a unique twist, I was not a fan of the book.

Red, while a very brave character, had a very immature mindset. I love YA books, and I understand that Red is very young, but she comes off even younger than she is. Her friends in the story give off the same immature vibe. It was hard to take the situations seriously because of this.
The writing style seemed a bit choppy, but I think that had a lot to do with some of the repetition in it. The characters say "Wowzers" very frequently, and the use of names in the dialogue is too much for any normal conversation. In some parts, the characters end or begin nearly every sentence they say with the other character's name. It would have flowed more smoothly without these two things.

The overall plot is almost too fast paced. The major events in it are very major, but there is a lack of transition between them.

Overall, I think middle grade readers may like this. I think it may be too immature for a general young adult audience. The author seems to have potential given the strong imagination behind the story, but if there is a sequel, I do not think I will read it.
