Ratings and reviews

I real liked this book. I'm super excited to read the next book in the series. The only I didn't real like was it was way to short and it was kind of hard to fallow. I didn't rely understand what was so wrong with her begin purple. Did she live on a diffent plantet or did she live on earth? Overall it was very action packed and very good. - Augustina

The whole plot just didn't make sense to me. Also, it seemed like the story was rushed, and it didn't give me time to actually get into the book.

this book’s plot seems very rushed and the way that it’s written seems like a children’s book with mild language. not to mention the reason for the plot of the book is over a rug, which is quite idiotic as a start for a book
