This Isn't What It Looks Like

The book feels like a fun puzzle with a lighthearted twist. I'm curious what the author's creative goal was in crafting this whimsical voice.

It kept me guessing what was real and what was part of the deception — was that intentional to engage young readers in questioning perception?

The pacing felt lively but also comedic at times. I'm interested in how the author structured that balance to appeal to middle grade readers.
