This book is great for children as well as for adults. The plot is well thought of and makes sense. The antagonist is not your typical thug and actually made a pretty intelligent plan to conquer the world and the proptagonists fought well. I'd discribe this book as "Totally non-cliche, humorous, oh-worthy, and all-in-all a great read." My favourite character remains to be Miss Constance Contraire. Great book. One of my best reads. Read it with your children.
