Review

The fifth in the Tashjians' Derek Fallon series, this book is another winner. As usual, Derek gets himself into several pickles, and has to learn life lessons the hard way. This installment focuses on school tests and gaming. Not only does Derek learn to believe in himself, but he grows quite a bit, too. The book leaves him on the precipice of his first love. This book, and complete series, is a must buy.

Overall Book Score: very good
