I love this book even though it has been a while since I've read it but when I flipped through it a few days ago I remember this great book. This book starts with a bad word (it doesn't tell you the bad word just says that it starts with a bad word) then ends with it too. But you're gonna have to read it to find out what happens between it. I like the characters and the story. I like how it includes magic and the secret code at the end. All in All its a good book and I recommend it for ages 9-13 and if you're older than that you can still read it of course.
