Wonderful!

I finished this book only a few days ago (at the time of this writing) and it was wonderful! It's a great story for children and adults alike. Also it is a little long, I think it would be a perfect fit for any person generally!

Favorite Series

My beginning to a new favorite series! I have the entire set, and the spin-offs as well. It's very well written with plenty of hidden meanings and codes for interested readers

Amazing Book

I started this book a couple of years ago in class, but I didn’t get to finish it because of COVID, so I’m so happy I could buy it here and for such an inexpensive price! The book is awesome, but I am not going to spoil it. But definitely 5/5 stars, would read again.

An absolutely wonderful read!

I am a 13-year-old and I selected this book because I was recommended it by a teacher. I would say that this book has a very interesting storyline as it is a spy book but the characters are of a young age. Kids relate to it and understand it better. It is packed with action and drama. - Spoiler- The main character Reynie becomes a spy through a scientist named Mr. benedict. He then meets 3 other children who are also like him and have a pull to the truth. They all get put on the same mission to stop someone from trying to brainwash all humans. They go through different issues with each other and strengthen their friendship. The book mainly focuses on their friendship with each other. It does get a little boring at times as the story goes on because the author often repeats the way the characters go throughout their days. Other than that I would recommend it to children as I don't believe it would be that interesting for adults.

One of my favorites!!!!

I've read this book at least three times and it is soooo good. I even read the rest of the series just because this one is amazing. I highly recommend it. Seriously, read this book! I'm surprised that more people don't know about this book, I like it better than harry potter to be sure.
