Aside from a typo or two and an inconsistency or two in the finished copy, this was a thoroughly enjoyable middle grade Jewish mythological retelling. I thought Zach, Sandra, and Ash made a good team but yikes, what these twelve-year-olds (and an ancient demon) got up to!!! Surprisingly intense and violent! I know nothing of Jewish mythology so it was cool to learn a little bit about it and then turn it on its head! I have never read anything by Aden Polydoros before, had never even heard of him before reading the excerpt for this on BookishFirst. I thought the cover did well at showing the contents of the book, making it look very thrilling and for any tween, it definitely is! Any tween kid could read this and feel comfortable in it. This definitely felt like the start of a series to me...! For fans of Rick Riordan for sure and I'll bet you learn something new along the way!
