My Views:

I loved the characters especially Tara and her brother who are always busy pulling each others’ leg. Even after fighting and pulling each others’ leg at the end of the day they are siblings and they both care for each other. The characters are very relatable and they have their own faults like every human being has but how even at such a small age Tara tries to understand the situation when somebody makes her understand and how even at such a small age she understands things.

I have read all of the books from the author and I actually love her writing style. She writes in a simple and lucid language which most people would find easy to read. The pace of the book was not too fast neither too slow. It was perfect.

The plot of the story was unique and would keep the readers curious to know what will happen next.

Overall, I enjoyed the story and would surely recommend the book to someone who is looking forward to read something short and adventurous.

My Rating: 5/5.
