Review Summary (did you like the novel and
why?)

• I think that this book is very interesting. IT is
  also very suspenseful. I really enjoyed reading
  this book. My favorite character was Evening Star
  Macaw. I also liked Blue Quetzal. I really did
  not have a favorite part of the book I liked it
  all.

Conclusionand recommendation

• I would certainly recommend this book to someone
  who is not into to much violence maybe a little.
  Who enjoys reading. I wonder if Chris Eboch has
  written more books. If I were a criteria I would
  give her five stars on an awesome book! Now go
  away and read it!
