Audible ​Review

Frank L. Cole has written a wonderful adventure story that kids will have a delightful time reading.  The story is about a group of kids that become friends and their adventures.  This story is humorous, filled with friendship and lots of fun.  There are several main characters of the story and it’s great to see the perspective of each.  This story has a bit of a feel similar to that of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as at the end leaves readers with several unanswered questions.  Overall this is a fun and delightful story that young readers are sure to enjoy.
 
The audible narrator, Mike Golczynski, was fun and entertaining reader.  He really brings Cole’s story to life by using different voices for the various characters throughout the story.  His voice is likeable and keeps listeners enthralled throughout the entirety of the story.
