I've watched this show with my daughter. She's a hug fan so of course I had to get the book series for her.
Shes and advanced reader but gets bored and its hard to get her to read beyond homework. She flew through this book though!
I read it with her and am surprised how much I enjoyed it. I think it's better than the TV show. Fuller characterization and background to make it feel realer.
It also has good modern talking points parents will appreciate like coping with stress, goofing off as kids, and social media attention.
Once we got to the competition it stole my attention away from my adult books and I had to find out what was going to happen.
I'm impressed and am excited to read more of this series with my daughter!
