I got this for my 8 year old and she loves it. She loves how the story can change based on your choices. She even brought it to school for story time and read to her class calling on students to make the choices in the story. And I guess the other kids really liked it too because someone stole it from her :/ that's how awesome this book is, kids will steal just to read it. Ha ha. i would've given it 5 stars but my daughter did make one complaint- you finish the book pretty fast because once you make your choices and flip around the pages the story will end after only about 4-5 pages. Then you have to start the story over and make different choices to get to read different pages.
