Talk about rooting for the underdog from the very beginning! The characters were very believable (unfortunately), parts of this story happen way to often to children although so very few have a hero like Kellan. I was so invested in Wavy, Kellan, and her little brother. I couldn’t wait to get to the last page but I didn’t want it to end. One of the best books I have listened / read in a while. I highly recommend!
