My Thoughts

I received an eARC courtesy of Random House Books for Young Readers via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This was yet another solid addition to the Hilo series. Great humor. Great story. Great character development. It was an adventurous ride. Winick has not disappointed me and he will not disappoint the kids who have been waiting for this book.

For Libraries: If your library is anything like mine, you have had kids waiting for this one for a year. And if you don't have the Hilo books yet, you need to get them right away!
