Changes

I enjoyed this book very much and warmed to Billy who is an appealing lead character. As a typical eleven year old boy with normal insecurities and a somewhat awkward manner he is someone that many readers will identify with. Each chapter ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger and this cleverly encourages the reader to read on. The length of the book and the writing style which is both humorous and light in tone make this an ideal read for slightly reluctant readers of about eight and over. This is not surprising as this is the book’s target market but I do think that it achieves this aim very well and would also appeal to both boys and girls. I had not read the first series by this writing duo but I can now understand their success and am looking forward to following the further adventures of Billy and Hoover.
