Love the story, but the narrator was bad

My favorite part was when they figured out the mystery of the yellow house. It was very interesting. I suggest boxer children, so please try it and I hope you like it👍❤️ but they could’ve had a better narrator. That’s the only thing is that they had a bad narrator, about it so if you don’t like bad narrators, don’t read the book.😔

Re-living books of my childhood!

I liked reading of a time when brave & polite children lived. Parents were responsible for their kids.

Great afternoon listening!

My 7 year old son loved listening to this! He said his favorite character was Benny and he loved the part about finding Bill.

Change the Voices (but good book)

The book was amazing, I used to read these books all the time and when I heard there were audiobooks I just had to read them, but as soon as I heard the voices I almost had to stop it was that bad. It took about an whole hour just to get used to the voices. I love the book, but Benny sounds like he’s constantly screaming, Henry sounds like he an adult man, and Violet sounds like she’s never yelled in her life. Jessie is the only decently voiced one. Even though all that I would still say the book is mind blowing and all kids 6-12 would enjoy this exciting book!

Nostalgia, but at what cost?

These stories are ones I remember reading growing up. Super nostalgic. The descriptions of the meals were always my favorite parts.

But the narrators make me wanna throw hands. I made it through, but just barely.

Good story…

Good story, but Aimee Lilly wasn’t a very good narrator. Benny was the most annoying voice, but the story is an absolute classic, so I’ll be listening to this again.
