I read this to my young cousin who was trying to improve her english. For some reason, while I was helping her read this and me reading it to her for her bedtime story, I've kinda grown addicted to it... It's a serious easy book to read that I flew through it. I sometimes ''accidentally'' gave spoilers to my cousin since I was ahead of her (she was annoyed at me for that). It's been, I don't know, ages since I read a book to her, but I enjoyed reading it with my cousin :) It was a fun reading, even if this was a child book.
