I'm quite beyond the target age for this book and it's subject material but my daughter is nineteen so I thought I'd see if it'd be something that would interest her, after reading the first look it feels like it reads like a middle grade book with young adult subjects. I feel my daughter would be as impatient with this as I was, the characters don't feel like college bound young adults but young teens playing impress me and impress others. Perhaps no likely to get the proper reception from a teen reader, though my teen in college takes her studies very seriously and is completely opposite these characters.
