I first read this book when I was much younger, maybe 11 or 12. Although I remember not liking it as much as the other books in the series up until this point, there wasn't much I remembered, so I was essentially going in blind.
To be honest, I'm pretty impressed by how much this holds up. I was a little afraid at how much the nostalgia bug might have left me disappointed, but I'm actually pretty excited to go back and re-read all of these.
Usually my rating system takes into account what I'm reading. Obviously, giving a 5 to children's book doesn't necessarily mean it's better than a classic that I've rated 3, but I feel like this is still a solid 3 given what it is. The story itself wasn't great but it wasn't bad. The subject matter wasn't spooky like a lot of the other books. The writing was pretty solid for a book that was probably churned out in a weekend.
