Giant afro. Even bigger brain.
Jaden Toussaint is a five-year-old who knows it all. I mean, really knows it all. Animal Science. Great Debater. Master of the art of ninja dancing. There's nothing Jaden Toussaint can't do. The only problem is that grown-ups keep trying to convince him that, even though he's really smart, he doesn't know everything. The thing is...he kind of does.

Story
Hasani’s post-seventh-grade summer to-do list is pretty simple: get a bigger following for her makeup YouTube channel and figure out how to get her parents back together. What she does not expect is that an emotional outburst will spark a latent magical ability in her. Or that the magic will be strong enough to attract the attention of witches. Or that before she can say #BlackGirlMagic, she’ll be shipped off on a scholarship to a fancy finishing school for talented young ladies.

He's got big plans, and no doubt he'll see them through - as he's creative, adventurous, smart, funny, and a good friend. Sometimes he falls, but he always gets back up. And other times he's afraid, because he's so often misunderstood and called what he is not. So slow down and really look and listen when somebody tells you - and shows you - who they are.

Story
This is the real-life story of Owen Suskind, the son of the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind and his wife, Cornelia. An autistic boy who couldn't speak for years, Owen memorized dozens of Disney movies, turned them into a language to express love and loss, kinship, brotherhood. The family was forced to become animated characters, communicating with him in Disney dialogue and song; until they all emerge, together, revealing how, in darkness, we all literally need stories to survive.

Story
When nine-year-old Allie Finkle's parents announce that the family is moving, Allie's sure her life is over. She's not at all happy about having to give up her pretty pink wall-to-wall carpeting for creaky floorboards and creepy secret passageways. With a room she's half-scared to go into, the burden of being "the new girl", and her old friends all a half-hour car ride away, how will Allie ever learn to fit in?

Fun Audiobook for Kids and their Families
If you could sum up Jaden Toussaint, the Greatest: Episode 1: The Quest for Screen Time in three words, what would they be?
Perseverance, creativity, and understanding because it was the combination of Jaden's perseverance and creativity that allowed him to get what he wanted and the understanding came from him understanding other people's perspectives and learning how to use that understanding to his advantage.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Jaden Toussaint, the Greatest: Episode 1: The Quest for Screen Time?
The most memorable moment for me was when the teacher Ms. Bates sent Jaden's mother an email detailing how he had achieved what he wanted all on his own.
Which scene was your favorite?
Probably the couple of instances in which Jaden attempted to say something, but his mouth shortened it in such a way that could've conceivably lost the polite tone. I've done that in my life, that's for sure.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, but not because of anything it did wrong by any means. I neither have children nor am a child so perhaps I'm in that middle portion where it's not that affecting.
Any additional comments?
I received this book for free from the author on audiobookblast in exchange for an honest review and found myself more than pleasantly surprised with how good it was. Reminds me of being a younger individual myself, reading books just like this one.

"I Know" that you'll love this stro
Would you listen to Jaden Toussaint, the Greatest: Episode 1: The Quest for Screen Time again? Why?
Jaden Toussaint is a short story about a little boy in kindergarten whose brain runs faster than his mouth. What he wants to sat comes out as "I Know". He also loves "screen time: and manages to convince his teacher to let his class have more. What a delightful story this was!
Who was your favorite character and why?
I liked them all, altough Jaden was really the only speaking character. IT was easy to visualize Dad and Jaden's teacher.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Dick Hill really made the story special. His careful enunciation and differentiation made all the characters stand out and made all enjoyable, even though JAden was the primary character.
Any additional comments?
Just a delightful book for all ages!

I Absolutely Loved This Audiobook
Some thoughts. As a grandma of three grandchildren ranging in age from 5,7, and 8, this audiobook has A LOT of appeal. It's cuteness scale for me is off the chart awesomeness. Knowing what my grandkids like and sort of how their little selves think, this hits the mark perfectly. My kids are in the military so I don't get a chance to see my grandkids as often as I'd like, but this is definitely a book and audiobook I'd send them.
J.T. EPISODE 1: THE QUEST for SCREENTIME is a wonderful children's audiobook that I highly recommend. I thought the three-minute dance party was smart. The entire book was smart. J.T. was so excited when he was assigned screen time homework until he's told it can be done without the computer. Loved it. Plus the epilogue where he has thoughts on when to have TV and screen time.
MARTI DUMAS is a terrific author of children's stories. Even I enjoyed it, with my 'I'm a kid at heart' thing. I think many of us are. I would love to hear more stories written by her and especially more with JADEN TOUSSAINT.
DICK HILL did an Amazing job narrating this audiobook. I was fascinated by his vocal range. He was so good and well, I'm just really impressed with this book and this collaboration. Wonderful job.
Last but certainly not least, the cover art by MARIE MURAVSKI is incredibly good. This is the total package. A no-brainer. One can't go wrong with this audiobook. It's also, in my opinion, educational.

Really cute & fun book for young school-aged kids
I read this book with my six-year old son, Olsen. We received an advanced reader copy from the author of the book in the form of audiobook and PDF. The audiobook was narrated by Dick Hill. Here is my son's review of this book.
"I really liked this book. It was so good. I thought Jaden was pretty smart to make a petition for all of his classmates to sign. I liked the part about the tic-tac-toe puzzle. I want to read Episode 2 because I am sure it will be so good!"
I personally thought this book was super cute. I really liked the illustrations and the narrator was fantastic. Dick Hill really did surprise me on his narration - especially with the voices. I only have one minor complaint - the narrator did not read all of the words in all of the illustrated captions. This book is a good read for Kindergartners and First Graders and I look forward to future books in the series. Thanks for the advanced copy, Marti!

Great start to a series!
Seeing this was the first episode, I do hope Jaden Toussaint has more adventures and becomes a series. As a confident little boy, Jaden tries to find a way to get more screen time, which here means time in front of a computer or smart phone and not, as I first suspected, in front of a camera.
Jadon rows up in a loving family vaguely similar to the author’s other work. Jala and The Wolves, but that doesn’t take away from Jaden’s story (or Jala’s in her story). What I love about this book is the deliberately chosen language the author uses to describe Jaden’s perspective about school. Jaden likes school and homework and the author loves to write about kids who have a thirst for knowledge, which is the kind of book I want to read to my kids. I want my kids to like learning and not think that being smart is somehow not cool. I want the heroes of their books to like to read and get to know the world around them.
The narrator is fantastic and does a great job with voices and keeping a pace that allows the story to be interesting and engaging.

Cute!
What a cute way to give readers a glimpse into the mind of a kindergartner. It's truly amazing how Dumas makes something as simple as screen time appear to be so massive in the mind of a five year old. The narration by Dick Hill added a comedic element to the story making it a real delight. I would recommend this book for grades K-2.

Great Story, Great Character.....
Starting my 7 yr old off on this series as he enters the second grade. Will test him on what he hears then challenge him to find the hardcopy at bookstore, library etc..... He then will do recall, as he will have to write FIVE things about the story.
