Story and performance were great

I don’t know why they added generic sound effects. They detracted from the story every time.
The book itself was great and David Tennant’s reading couldn’t be better.

Anyone can be a hero

We loved that as Bodkin was about to overcome and be a hero! We are just flying through this book series. We cannot put it down and are having so much fun together as a family. Who needs tv when there are books like this!?

Awesome.

Great little series, I relistened to the first two books before I dived into this one and I don’t regret it at all. This is a delightful story. Admittedly the first two books were better than this one, but this one was still wonderful, and I can’t wait for the next book to come out on audio. Now I have an urge to relisten to the How to Train a Dragon series as that one will always be one of my favorite series. Narrator is awesome as usual.

Wonderful Continuation

Knock Three Times is the wonderful and enjoyable penultimate book in the Wizards of Once series. The main protagonists continue to grow as they face new challenges in their quest to get rid of the Witches and secrets, those of the children and of the rulers of both the Wizards and Warriors, are revealed and events set in motion for the final book. A great listen for the whole family (my 6 and 9-year-olds love the series). Recommended for any fan of Cressida Cowell or classic YA fantasy adventures.
