I found this entire series to be shallow enough to entertain children but innovative enough to keep an adult interested. The concept of a future where “things are not as perfect as they seem” is not new but I enjoyed the fact that Tally did not play the typical victim roll that most female heroines are relegated to. I found her character development was handled with humor and a fair amount of humanism that it managed to cover some of the obvious gaps in the story line. She far outshined the other characters who were set pieces by comparison. I would recommend this for parents looking to share a reading experience with their children. It certainly gave us all a lot to talk about around the dinner table.
