Quirky little mystery. I will never look at canned food the same way again! ( )

intermediate kids loved this book, they enjoyed the suspense and twists of the story line. The question remains 'did delinquent or stolen kids get minced up as pet food?' what do you think? ( )

I loved this book. It was an odd story about two odd kids. I laughed my way through this book. The characters and the mystery were well developed and the pace was good too. ( )

This book soon became boring. It always seemed repetitive, and predictable. ( )
