awesome book for kids

The many different voices and the sound effects make listening to this story even better than reading it on my own. The story plot, the characters, and the adventures will sure to please kids. Humor, light suspense, great dialogue, and wondrous creatures will thrill even more. Great book!

An adventurous story to stop a curse!

What are you supposed to do when you suddenly find yourself transported to Medieval times and meet a 500-year-old king who is trying to break a curse? Why, you trade in your game system controller for a legendary sword and go on a quest to break the curse, of course!

This was a fun story to listen to; Andy Smithson is the last descendant of a king from hundreds of years before who had a curse placed upon him by his sister after he murdered her and his parents in order to gain the throne. The sister, being rather understandably upset at being murdered, had the curse placed upon her brother until he had learned his lesson; the previous king and queen had agreed to the curse with the understanding that it be lifted as soon as the lesson had been learned. Unfortunately, the sister is still nursing her hatred, even after 500 years and many obvious signs that her brother had learned his lesson and had changed from the man he was when he murdered them. When she refuses to lift the curse, saying that he deserves everything that happens to him and more because of the murders, her father takes matters into his own hands by transporting his last remaining descendant from the present day back so that he can break the curse.

It was definitely an interesting introduction to the story, and it pulled me in very quickly. Once it began, the story only got better. I have to admit, I was amused at Andy's frustrations when things didn't go according to plan. I think that was because his reactions to each setback were fairly realistic for a boy his age.

Listening to a full-cast audiobook also meant that it was easy to follow the dialogue changes in the relatively large cast. My only complaint about the audiobook was that there were way TOO MANY sound effects. Some sound effects are good and add to the ambiance of an audiobook; too many sound effects and they just get in the way of the actual telling of the story. I would deduct 1.5 stars from the performance if I could deduct half-stars, but since I can't, I will only deduct 1 star. Still, the story was good and I give it 5 stars.
