Review

I could not put this book down! It was thrilling, eventful, exciting, and a never ending whirlwind of hope and determation. Although it got a little repative towards the end... it was still an amazing short read.

I felt as though Jack kept enduring the same problamatic situations. Not enough food to eat, no place to sleep, DSS almost finding him. Alothough these are terrible situations and I feel very bad for Jack it got boring to hear them over and over again.

The obession with elephants was completely understandable yet metioned in every setance, which got a little annoying at points.

Overall I highly recamend this book if you like being at the edge of your seat and want a quick read!
