Disappointed

I absolutely love this story! And when I saw it was on here I couldn’t wait to listen to it!

But the narrator was not the greatest, her accents for each character were questionable and laughable. Sadly it took away from this amazing story.

Buy the book!

Narration is slow

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Great book however the narration is incredibly slow. Tried to play it for my class to read along with. We gave up and read aloud.

Ruined my favorite book

I loved this book, but the narrative just ruined it for me. Julio is described as a Mexican boy that moved from Texas but the narrator made him sound like a cholo from Los Ángeles that is struggling with English.
