stonemason's Thoughts:

This is an interesting book. There are certainly a huge variety of things you can do--you can encounter intelligent underwater creatures, you can babysit two very difficult twins, or you can get kidnapped by bank robbers. There isn't much plot consistency, but it's a fun book. There are a few decisions of a moral nature. Most of the time you get logical, unpleasant consequences if you make a wrong decision, but there's at least one point where, after making a bad decision, you get another choice and an opportunity to escape the consequences of your decision, making things more interesting.
