This book (and I suspect the rest in the series as well) is *extremely* outdated and has not aged well. It depends on a LOT of false and really gross sexist stereotypes and stereotypes about how psychologists/scientists speak and conduct tests as well as just generally extremely shallow and not great portrayals of kids and what kids are capable of doing. Sure, it's a fast read and I guess could be fun for some, but my kid gives this zero stars and just really highly disliked it.
