Genre:Realistic Fiction/Adventure

The Genre of This Book is Adventure because:

-The main characters are always at a different place, not staying at one major place.

-The characters in the book are always taking risks.

-It is a risky undertaking, or a remarkable and exiting experience.

My Opinion On The Book:I really enjoyed this book. Not only because the book is based on a character from a previous book that the author wrote, but the sole story that the author wrote about the character. The story took me in and hypnotized me, because everyday at eight o' clock I could not let the book go. I reccomend this book to the fans of Louis Sachar and those who would enjoy a book soup, because this book is almost all genres put together, and thank goodness it's literally not.
