"You will wish you had been kinder."
WHOA!!! The series took a HUGE leap forward in intensity with this installment. I had pretty much decided nothing much would surprise me with it and was just sort of trundling along...and then I got smacked in the face! The ending is a total shocker and cliffhanger (unless you are WAY better than I am at picking up on foreshadowing and curveballs). Still nothing inappropriate for middle grade (elementary school age) readers.
Against the Tide is also the first in this series to actually have what I would call quotable lines. There was some humor alongside of all the "OMG" happening, and I actually went and looked up the author's other books because I enjoyed it that much.
