i read this for school and this is easily the worst written fiction book i have ever read in my life even by children novel standards
it feels like hes making it up as he goes with random nonsense
there is nothing interesting about it
it reads like how an out of touch 80 year old would imagine a child would narrate
the dialogue is awful
the book could be shortened into less than 100 pages and nothing would really change because its needlessly stretched out and padded with so much filler
the worldbuilding is incredibly boring and feels like a parody of what it’s trying to portray
it is crazy to me how something like this has so many good reviews
