Opinion 

 I liked this book for multiple reasons: 

1. It was interesting and held my attention easily. (In some parts)
2. I liked the attitude’s of some of the characters.
3. I like mystery and this book met my expectations in that category.

 In some parts of the book I got aggravated and bored:

1.  Peter’s attitude to the whole “end of the world” situation aggravated me because he disagreed with any decisions anybody made and refused to believe the world was ending.
2.  Some parts I believe were unnecessary and did not have to be included in the story.
3.  I thought some parts were not  moving as fast as I would have liked.

Rating

I had a good opinion and a bad one about this book. For both of those reasons I believe I like the book so-so. I rate it 3 stars.

Recommendations 

I think younger kids would enjoy this book better than teens. This book is on a reading level of a 5th grader. For me it was a little easy.... I think the book would be a good read aloud. I recommend this book to ages 8-12. This book has some vocabulary that a 7 year old would not understand but it might be a interesting read aloud. However, older kids, 8+, would find it just right either way.

Small Spoiler

This book leaves you hanging. There is a series of them. The story is not finished!
