This is probably one of my favorite books ever, if not my favorite. Though this book is advertised for middle grade, it works for all ages (I read this series when I was 11 and 12 and I am now 15 and still reread it frequently).

I'm sorry I'm getting off track. The point is this book is an amazing read featuring beautifully written characters, plot, and dialog that continues to be present throughout the series. I would give this 6 stars out of 5 if I could.
