The House on Sunrise Lagoon: Sam Makes a Splash

De: Nicole Melleby

Narrado por: Taylor Meskimen

From an acclaimed author comes a cheerful, uplifting story of family and belonging, the first in a series perfect for fans of the Vanderbeekers and the Penderwicks.

If you want to get to know eleven-year-old Samantha Ali-O’Connor, you need to know three things:

One, she isn’t the only one of her siblings who is adopted, but she is the only one whose name isn't inspired by the ocean.

Two, she and Harbor always compete with each other to be the best Oldest Sibling—and just about everything else.

And three, she is determined to prove she's a real Ali-O'Connor by taking over the family business, repairing and chartering boats.

Except there's a Capital-P Problem: Her mothers have been Serious Whispering about selling the business before summer's end! Sam needs to come up with a plan, quick, before Harbor finds out. And before Sam loses her chance to inherit the business and be an Ali-O'Connor forever.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This emotional read shows the power of friendship and family without omitting the work that goes into loving someone." (Booklist, starred review)

"A strong recommendation for readers who enjoy contemplative, character-driven stories like those by Ashley Herring Blake." (School Library Journal, starred review)

"A raw yet honest portrayal of a young person’s experience with depression, this is a must-read for both middle grade readers and the teachers, counselors, parents, and other adults who interact daily with youth undergoing similar experiences." (School Library Journal, starred review)

The chapters were not complete. Kept restarting each chapter half way through… could not listen to the book

1 star

The story was good but I don’t know what happened with it but i didn’t know part of each chapter (and I tried playing a couple different times which was annoying because it never worked) and each chapter played two times which was so annoying I wish I didn’t get this book it was a total waste of a credit over all hated it

Glitch!

This book only plays half of the chapters like does the same beginning two times it even does the credits twice.

Defective

Someone else wrote a review about this but somehow I didn’t see it until after I had experienced problems and went to see what I could do about it. As the other reviewer said, it repeats the chapters. Unless you manually change each chapter, it’ll automatically repeat the chapter once before moving on. Also, it’s missing at least the ending bits of the chapters. I missed some important details at the end of some chapters, at minimum and I’m really not sure I had anything of the ending of the story at all. I wish I hadn’t wasted a credit on this unsatisfying listening experience.

The story was pretty good, from what I heard. The performance was good. But I didn’t get to appreciate it or get the full story and now I have to access the content elsewhere.

Incomplete chapters that repeat

Incomplete, can’t listen to book due to errors. Chapters repeat halfway through. Would like refund of a credit.

Title skips and is off

Chapter 3 is Chapter 1, and in the middle it doesn’t work. Haven’t gotten past that.

Horrible Recording

Recording cuts off halfway on each chapter, and then starts the chapter again. Very frustrating.

This audiobook does not work

Chapters cut off pages before the end. Will randomly restart the previous chapter. Lots of the book is missing. Super frustrating.

The most horrible performance ever

I liked the story and everything,but horrible recording quality.Definitely do not recommend it for who want peace and not to look at the screen.
