I read good portion of the book and then just skipped to the end. I don't like to do that but I was so bored and I felt lost. The first book was fun. This not so much. Maybe I didn't remember enough of the first, but I felt like there was new information that was just assumed the reader knew. The author asides were fun at first, but got terribly annoying since they happened at least once a chapter. The silliness of the first book seemed to turn cheesy and flat in this one.

My daughter asked me to read the first book in this series to her, as she had read it at school and thought I would like it. We read that one, and now we're in the midst of the NOBODIES...
I thought that that NOBODIES was a little all over the place, but the sequel is much more focused. The intrusive narrator is funny, the plot moves along at a good clip, the magic is believable and desirable, and, like the previous book, THE NOBODIES ends with a lovely message of redemption. I particularly like the way the books portray the emotional lives of the child characters. We're looking forward to reading book 3, THE SOMEBODIES...
