Peter is a sympathetic character and is a likable kid.This novel has potential as an exciting and thrilling book for the young reader.One of the stronger aspects of the excerpts was the details. I could clearly see Jassim and Hammer, see uncle Jim's face and Peter's unease.Overall I think adventurous young adults will like the novel. It was strong in the details of the plane, and had enough details to paint the picture of the scenery and characters.
