Brambleheart by Henry Cole

4/10

I read this about 9 months ago. The kids' elementary school has done a cool thing the last three years where they give every kid the same book and a reading schedule and everyone reads it in a fairly quick time. I always read them with the kids and it's been a fun time. This, however, was my least favorite of the three they've done so far. The story just never really took off in any interesting way. It also ended in a bit of a cliffhanger as well which was off-putting and presumptuous, as if we'll all be running to read the next one. The kids liked it well enough at least.

For fun, I'm going to rank the three books referenced above:

1. Where the Mountain Meets the Moon
2. The One and Only Ivan
3. Brambelheart
