This was an entertaining listen, but all through the story I thought it was a Patterson because of the style. I was irritated that the government class didn't have any girls - seemed like a super dumb/potentially sexist oversight, and that surprised me for a kids book in this day. I'll keep reading, but hopefully girls will be part of the series. I know we want books that will entice boys to read, but we don't want to make it look like girls can't be lawyers or take hard classes.

Pleasant enough but could have been much better, and the ending was not satisfying.
I'm not really sure how to rate this. It was pretty decent by itself, BUT, it is only half a book! The story pauses at the end, but the story itself never really comes to a satisfying conclusion.
So I guess next year when the sequel comes out, maybe I will get to finish the story and give it a better rating.
Read the sequel - got no satisfaction. ...more
