As a kid, I loved reading juvenile fiction. Although I enjoyed series and authors such as Judy Blume, "The Bailey School Kids", and "Wishbone," Gordon Korman was my favorite back then. It's been years since I've even began reading one of his books, and I had this sitting on my shelf, so I thought I'd give it a try. My opinion? Well, the writing style wasn't bad, and the story was decent. However, the whole thing seemed really generic. It almost seemed like a novelization of some TV movie starring a starlet popular with the younger set, such as Corbin Bleu or Brenda Song. Maybe Korman's books aren't as good as I remember them to be; I'll have to reread some of the ones I remember fondly from my childhood to see if they're really that great.
