Similar to the first book in the series, which the movie followed surprisingly closely, this is a fast paced book. The topic is marketed as being depressing, but I find the adorable characters and their intelligence refreshing. I can see young readers enjoying the voice and appreciating our narrator decoding words for them during the story. I, however, was rather annoyed with the constant need to define words for me. It was a minor annoyance and didn't ruin the book for me.
I would highly recommend this tale of puzzle solving for young readers. Three smiles.
