Can Hilo survive a day at school? Find out in HILO-a laugh-out-loud, epic story of friendship! Adventure! (And the occasionaly mutant space robot).

Incredible

Excellent and engaging series for kids. We read the first book to our son and then discovered the Audible. After that, we bought each audible after we read the next book in the series all the way through. The full cast and sound production is top notch.

One of my favorite books

The first time I read this I loved it so much I bought every book in the series and the characters voice actors did a really great job especially halo and DJ's voice actor

Nothing

I hate the story board you don’t know if the story is telling you about earlier or in that moment.
