My 12 year old loved this series

This series was second only to the Percy Jackson books in how eagerly my son awaited the next installment. If you have a child in the 8 to 12 year old range these books will be a big hit. The narration was quite good as well.

more for adolescents than children

I've known parents who scolded their children for saying "butt-head," so you can imagine how multiple occasions of "Doody Face" written in indelible ink on the face of one character by another and referred to liberally in the narration might not be such a good example for children. Because of that and multiple other examples, I doubt that these books will become "classics." There are multiple occasions of potty humor and hideous images much more "suitable" for adolescents ... or even adults.

Love it, major cliff hanger series.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed these books but the books end as real cliff hangers and it can be really tough to know you need 9 credits to go through this series.

Another excellent family freindly tale

My 5 year old daughter is almost obsessed with this series. In this tale, we discover who has Henry and Veronica, more is revealed about the scarlet hand, and oh...I won't spoil it for you. These tales are excellently written and wonderfully performed by Mr. Ganser. There are a great little listen for those longer trips with you kids in the car. I highly recommend them.

Book Three

This is book three of the series. Start with The Fairy-Tale Detectives. These are very funny stories and have many moral notes to teach kids and adults. Such as every action (magic) has a cost. We have enjoyed listening as a family. I've now got to get book 4 ready!

Audible, you're ridiculous!!!

Audible, this is ridiculous!!! I just wanted to rate this book and not write a review. Having to write reviews in order to rate has prevented me from rating at all. I just want to give props to enjoyable reads . I will just copy and paste this "review" going forward.

Pretty good!

I liked the book, but the narrator was just not quite right. The voices are hard to tell apart. Other than that, I liked it a lot!!!
