Review: Wonderful read! - I enjoyed this story because the characters and plot was new, unique and refreshing Plus, it had constant action. I heard about it from watching the Judge Mathis' show. I'm so glad I read it. Wonderful.
Review: What an adventure! - This was a thrilling adventure! I loved the growth that all three main characters, Cordelia, Brendan, and Eleanor experience throughout the novel. The illustrations were incredible and really added something to the story. The imagery is colorful and vivid, the scenes that Columbus and Vizzini set seem to come to life on their own. I can't wait to see what else the duo has in store for the Walker family.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HEY YOU GUYS... This is a good book
*by T***8 on May 19, 2013*

Chris Columbus writes a children's book. This is enough to capture the interest of any modern film fan and any child of the eighties who grew up watching the classic movies such as The Goonies and Gremlins. Columbus is an excellent film maker but can he write in the novel format. With the help of Ned Vizzini Columbus wrote this novel which he has said is a thematic sequel to The Goonies. The plot revolves around three children. Cordelia, Eleanor and Brendan all typical 2K13 era children. Their father looses his job and the family is forced to move into a old mansion that was owned by Denver Kristoff, a pulp fiction writer from the early 20th Century. After an encounter with a creepy neighbor and an angel statue that gave me the creeps they are sent into the world of the Kristoff novels and must use their wits to get out of it. I really thought that this novel was good. The characters were vivid and there was a lot of action, chapters left you wanting to know what happens next. Columbus had sent the manuscript to Rowling who gave advice about developing the characters and slowing the speed slightly. The advice worked because the novel does not move too fast and you feel sympathy for each characters different situation when dealing with their tests and tribulations as characters in this novel. I think the novel was trying to be a specific length, and toward the end it did seem to almost add on a few more action scenes so that it would reach the proper page length. I give this book four stars because I really enjoyed it and I am anxious to read book 2.
