Well, this definitely reads as a middle grade book. It has action but is resolved quite quickly. More quickly than I though the rising of apocalypse beasts would be. That bit was a little disappointing and was very squished at the end of the book. In its defense, the book itself is not really long. As I am a bit older than middle grade, I expected more but it should go well with the younger crowd.
Zach and Sandra not only have to deal with regular bullies but need to stop the world from ending due to the knights of the apocalypse. That is quite a bit for 12 year olds but these two are up for it, with a little help from Carmen and Zach's little sister and of course, Ash, the king of demons. Lots of snark and funny bits, including the gullnado that Zach accidently starts keep the story going and so I think this wasn't too bad for what it is, made for tweens.
