I really, really like this second installment! The writing definitely improved from the first one, and I didn't notice two different people telling the story. I still think it can teach young readers so many amazing things about being true to yourself and approaching problems from different angles. A couple of things I didn't like as much: I noticed that parents and adults in general are really villainized in this book which I thought was a little concerning. Trust your parents! They're good people I hope. And also Fen has a crazy (borderline incestuous?) obsession with his cousin, Laurie, and it was annoying/weird after a while.
