Classic

Classic, straight-shooting, heart searching, coming-of-age story. Our entire family lived it with the exception of the cussing.

It's one awesome book!

I'm a ten year old boy and I just finished the whole Little Britches series. I like that it had a lot of adventure in it and that it's about a boy and his life. I also think that Cameron Beierle did a great job narrating.

reminder of the CORE values that matter the most

it took about 2/3 of the book before I decided it was worth my time to finish and I'm so glad I did. I will be listening again.

I hated how much they cussed.

They swore way too much. It got very annoying. But It was a good book though.

Wonderful story, wonderfully narrated

Lovely story, great from elementary through adult, good life lessons and also historical perspective. Narrator is also very talented, and the audio was clear- some titles I’ve sampled seem to be a bit fuzzy.
