Review: Sky Ropes by Sondra Soderborg

 


Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy. BUT, I disliked this book immensely. I was annoyed with the main character Breanna from the very beginning because of the amount of times she called everyone and everything chumps. She is a 12 year old who is against going to a summer camp before the new school year because they have this thing called Sky Ropes. Breanna hates them because she has a fear of heights after her abusive father held her out of a third story window.

Throughout the book she is also called the greatest prankster ever and she comes up with a prank. The prank involves chain saws and the sky ropes course. I immediately got red flags because the author seriously thinks vandalism in a middle grade book is a prank. 

There is also so much bullying and Breanna is also a bully herself. She immediately gets a rivalry at the camp and makes everyone do softball as activity throughout the week because she wants to prove that she is great at softball. 

Breanna is such a bratty and whiny character. The writing is mediocre and the story jumped from one plot point to another to try and justify Breanna's crappy behavior. I was very disappointed with the ending. It ended so abruptly.
