What I liked:
Tall Tales is another fast-paced adventure with tons of fun twists and turns. More than a couple of new characters are introduced, and it's a treat to meet them (good and bad) as they hit a little familiarity and then go beyond. The tension stays high as Lena and Jin are forced to step into more giant shoes than they dreamed they could fill, and while they've come a long way, they're still learning to find their niches in the world. Plus, their personalities make them love each in their way.
Final Verdict:
This book suffers from second-book syndrome as it is the middle book, so it merely exists as a bridge between books one and two while adding some more plot to the series. Nevertheless, Riley captures middle-grade readers' attention and offers enough twists to keep them interested.
