When Jack goes to live with his aunt and uncle, he thinks he will have a boring summer. At home, nobody cares about him. He doesn't have any friends. Even the town bully ignores him. But in Hazelwood, the actually makes friends! Hazelwood's biggest bully beats him up! Then he finds a book his uncle wrote. He starts to read it and then he realizes there is something magic in Hazelwood. I loved this story. The part I likes best was when Jack was reading the book his uncle wrote. This book was very well written, but sometimes it didn't make sense. The characters are very likeable and the setting is important because Hazelwood is magical. If this book was on a rating scale from 1-10, I would give it a 9.
