I *still* like the heroine. However a few things bugged me in this story. 
 It's pretty clearly early on what the problem is but Kaylee is either clueless or willfully ignorant. 
 And I was thinking by now that she'd have learned to ask for help from the adults. It goes on far too long before that happens and then when it does the story continues on with minimal assistance from the adults. This is frustrating. 
 The ending leaves you sad but definitely wanting the next book. I'm glad I don't have to wait for it.
