Rating: I like it BUT some families may not
Reading level: Middle School
(Spoiler alert!) More of the same… plus a few kisses in this episode of the Friday Barnes series
Possible concerns:
- Indecent exposure. Ian is accused of cheating by writing on his pants, and so he angrily takes his paints off and rushes off in an enraged huff (wearing just his boxers).
- Romance. A few kisses and references to a good-looking boy with his shirt off.
To be honest, I was a bit disappointed in the lack of innovative closure (it felt like the author just ran out of gas—or perhaps just ideas) in the very end. I think this is because I thought I was reading the finale, and it seems there may be more. I have mixed feelings because they are all starting to feel the same. I was ready for closure.
2025 Update: It seems there are two more books in the series, but the author did take a big 6-year break to finish it off!
