Thoughts: I really liked the construct of the book being told over the course of a week. For elementary school, the course of a week is a very long time. Book itself wasn't anything super special. As usual, I found myself infuriated at the failure of the adults in the story. I get why kids books get the adults out of the way so fast, but it always bugs me.
