This was an interesting book, with great characters with individual personalities, and the book had some humor in it. The ending, however, was just too open ended for it to be called newbery.
I don’t think this book should have been kicked off. Though it did have a cliffhanger it was a complete story in my opinion.
Yael, is it in your top 3 books so far this year?
