I think that this book is OK but not very Good. I didn't like any person much but the characters were OK. So I don't really want to recommend this book to many people.

When I looked at this books cover, It looked very exciting to read. As I read on, I found out there is a secret that Ho knows. That was the part of the book that interested me. My favourite character is Ho because he really focuses on his tasks and he loves animals (just like me). I would recommend this book to the children that like emotional books.
