Starts a bit rough, as the author spends the first quarter of the book trying to deal with the stuff from the first book that is dated in 2020's "social media is terrible" world. But once that is out of the way there is an amusing adventure, just like in the original.

Some of the messaging is ham-fisted, but once again it is important to remember that this is a children's book. It isn't meant to be nuanced.
