I didn’t like this quite as much as the first one, I think because the first had more mystery and now we know about the other world. I still love the kids, especially Finn who is too adorable for his own good, and I enjoyed seeing them solve puzzles to figure out how to save the moms. Chess is a good leader and his crush on Natalie is sweet. Emma is so smart and I was proud of her when she figured out things.

We didn’t experience much of the other world, just stayed inside other Natalie’s house which made the story feel a bit slower. I did like meeting some of the other people and the rescue of the moms was fun.

I’m looking forward to the third book to see what happens with the other world!
