I read Woody and, while it was a good story, I finished it in about fifteen minutes. So, I think the book is probably more suited to children around the ages of eight or nine. The blurb was slightly misleading as it said that he 'loved music but can't really play any instruments'. In reality there were only a few chapters on that. I do understand why it would be in there because of the ending, but maybe for future books music will be focused more around the plot. All in all, its a good read and I would recommend it.
