Review

The Talaska family just love to enter contests and usually have pretty good luck. The newest contest is sponsored by a defunct clown-filled amusement park called Funland. If the family wins the contest,the clowns will turn their house which is in dangerous disrepair into a house full of fun with carousels, slides, a hall of mirrors and all sorts of wacky rides. In order to win the first step of the contest, the family must secure hundreds of likes. This is a cute story about a family that always work together toward a shared goal with senses of humor intact. It also teaches a lesson and that is that likes are not necessarily from true friends; true friends step up to help when it is truly needed.

Overall Book Score: good
