    I like that Suzy can hold her ground when she was arguing with the troll and when she took the snow globe from Lady Crepsucular because someone was trapped in it. I found it funny when Suzy did her physics homework; as when her mum and dad told her to have a break she wouldn't and it said she h...

    I liked this book a lot! Mainly because it has a lot of mystery. It has 2 main plots with 3 side mysteries alongside. These are always solved one way or another.

    I am reading 'Boy Underwater', I am half way through the book and I am up to the point where Cymbeline Igloo is asked why his mother has never took him swimming. I like how the author has not told us exactly why his hasn't been swimming, instead his mother made excuses, however Cymberine now know...
