The boys liked the idea of the BMX bike races with the use of flashlights. As soon as I was finished, they wanted to read it again. I thought the boys would like it better than the girls, but there were a few girls that also liked it.
If you want to capture and keep the attention of young adolescents, write books in which the characters are monsters, the plot revolves around “gravity games” and words like “berani”, “grind”,"ollie","kickflip" and “skitching” dominate the vocabulary.

This is a an interactive adventure fantasy for developing and transitional readers.
