I read the second book in the series before this one, but it feel pretty solitary about them both.
Interesting story. I enjoyed the epistolary style, but I could see how it may not resonate with young children. The story is really driven by the letters so it may be a bit confusing. The wording is often vague so I think it is suited for more advanced readers than very young ones.
This one had less of a structured plot than the second one, which made it a bit dull for me. Still a fun book, but nothing much happened.
Good overall.
