It seems unfair to give a kids book a lower rating from an adult perspective, but I was surprisingly disappointed in this reread long after I loved the series as a kid. The third book was always my favorite but I definitely thought they had a little more life in them.
This is a fine short story but nothing really happens and there isn’t a satisfying conclusion. It definitely feels like an introduction to the series than a good standalone, but it could just be that my memory has drifted further from reality than I realized.
