love it

this really got the picture through. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who would like a nice calm tense building story to listen to. this has really taken me on a journey I won't forget.

Pulls at heart strings

This series is an endearing story of sacrifice and familial commitment. It's refreshing in a world of egotism and entitlement. I'm inspired to more patience and support of loved ones and to be a person of integrity, gratitude and respect.

Aye

My husband grew up reading Ralph Moody books. I had never heard of him. I enjoyed the story so much. However, the reading is somewhat stilted at times, perhaps meant to sound like a child narrating. I could do without the accents applied to the characters, and I’d love a softer “a” and “the” too.

Read on!

As this series continues Ralph’s characters grow and we grow with them in a time that was both harder and simpler. Reward yourself by reading this one in sequence.

I enjoyed the entire book. The narrator also is superb. He voice is so homey and soothing. Both he and the writing are outstanding. Ralph Moody was years away from his stories when he wrote, but he captures the voices of young children and teens perfectly. Infeel as though I am right there watching their adventures as they live them. I will probably go back and listen to the entire series again when I finish. I love it!
