Interesting side story.

This is the fifth book I have read/listened to by this author and I look forward to listening to every book in the P.A.W.S. world. I am enjoying these side stories to the main P.A.W.S. Book, even if I don’t recall these characters in the first book. Guess I need to re-listen after listening to all the Tales from P.A.W.S. so I can place these characters. ——-

This is the first book I have listened to by this narrator ( Christopher Goodrich ) and I would listen to another. He did a good job with both the male and female character voices. He reads more than really performs the book due to his enunciation, but it is still a pleasant listen. He does add emotion. ——-

There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence, or swearing. ——-

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.

5/5 Stars Griddlebone by Debbie Manber Kupfer
Run time: 26 minutes
Narrated by: Christopher Goodrich
Summary:
Shapeshifting cats take on the Nazis.

Additional Comments:
- Imaginative and fun.
- What if the Nazi scientists succeeded in creating a shapeshifting werecat-soldier? That’s pretty much the crux of this story.
- Christopher Goodrich did an excellent job bringing the story to life.
- It’s a short story but worth hearing, whether you’re a P.A.W.S. fan or never heard of it. The story can stand on its own. I think it takes place way before the normal series.

Conclusion:
If you like fantasy historical fiction (if there is such a thing), you’ll enjoy this tale. It’s got heart, heroics, and kitty cats.

Unique

Very interesting story for Griddlebone. I do wish that the narrator did better accents though.

Brave. Daring. Commendable.

This is my first read in this P.A.W.S. series, so not sure how it all goes together. But this short story is intense. Griddlebone is a werecat genetically engineered by the nazis to be a spy. He turns on them and comes to the rescue of the Jews. Brave. Daring. Commendable.
The narrator of this audio version did an ok job. There were a couple of characters voices I wasn't too fond of.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from Story Origin.

Another great short story...

Another short story from Debbie Manber Kupfer. In this story, set during WWII, the Nazis have created a shapeshifter - a werecat - to use as a weapon. The problem with creating weapons that are sentient is that they can think for themselves.

This was a very interesting take on the experiments the Nazis performed during WWII. It's a somewhat dark topic for a children's short story, but not overly so. The narrator, Christopher Goodrich, did a fair enough job for a children's Story, but he was clearly reading more than performing. Still, it wasn't bad, and it is a story that I will listen to again.

3rd book in P.A.W.S. Nice turnaround on Nazis!

This book is a mixture of history (Nazi Germany)
and Shifters. What a wonderful turnaround through the Nazi's own Genetic Experiments!!
good story line.
