It was rather slow, and I couldn't think of a single student to whom I could hand it. I love Snyder's Any Which Wall and Bigger than a Bread Box, but it's super hard to get my students to read them. I may pass on this one.

I meant to get a costume after reading it and I never did! Star Wars or HP, of course. Well. I am one of the adults who didn't "get" Orphan Island. Irritated me. Truly kids like it?
