I don't see a point to this book. Nothing important to the over all story happened. They climbed up this mountain and climbed back down and that was it. Yeah they killed a few Reapers during it but what was the point? And then this whole thing that you can only pick the flower during a FULL MOON. I went back and looked again if it really said full moon and yes, it did! But after that one mention of the full moon it never appeared again. Suddenly it was "you need to pick the flower at midnight preferably in a frosty night". Because that was so much more convenient, since they didn't have a month to wait around for a full moon. I didn't care much about the tragic history of Gwen's dad either because I already figured out he probably didn't die of cancer but no one ever seemed to question it.
I'm just wondering how her grandma concealed all these secrets from Gwen because they are constantly touching.
