Family Favorite

Great for road trips and driving to all the after school activities. 2 thumbs up from my 8 year old & he's already listened to it a second time. Can't wait to listen to the next one.

Wonderful

As an adult I had never read a children's book. It was fabulous! So much more than I expected. Filled with heartfelt as well as heart pounding adventure. ❤️

the narrator did a great job at bringing the characters to life.

I loved that I could picture everything in detail and that she did change her voice to suit the characters
