I did not really enjoy this book, read it as a 46 year old though and don't think I read it as a teen. Something in it didn't seem to connect for me. I haven't read the first one so maybe that's part of the issue. Even so, I don't think the story or the writing flowed very well. I got tired of reading someone 'demanding' or 'eyes snapping' or other such writing. I really had to force myself to finish it and it wasn't a long book. I don't understand why it won a Newbery but it did. But many others have seemed to enjoy it, so try it out and judge for yourself.
