Mehso-so

This quirky and mildly entertaining book lacked depth to its characters. Ideally aimed at 9-11 year olds, it fell short of a great read as there are so many other compelling reads in this genre.
The book started off quite slow and I felt the action was rushed towards the end and it was only the villains who provided some much needed action.
A pleasant read but wouldn‘t re-read it again.
