Review by: TJ Flynn on March 10, 2011 : star star star star star
The storytelling was vivid and I felt like I was right in on the action. I especially liked the rescue scene, but all of the book was really well written. It was also great to see how the family all supported each other, and how that made things better for all of them. It got me wondering what I would do if I was Connor. I was sad when the book ended, because I really got to like some of the characters, and I wanted to read more about the family. I really recommend this book!
