great book

My boys thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn't wait to get in the car to continue listening. I, as mom, enjoyed the surprise twists and turns well as the descriptions that created such beautiful pictures and sucked you into the story and characters. Overall this was just a great book. I look forward to more!

Fun and fantastic tale

An energetic tale that will entertain young readers and adults. The story is full of detail that will sweep you into the landscape of the moment and move you along as if riding beside the main characters. Plenty of adventure, action, and plot twists to engage the reader. Although not without conflict between characters, this is a pleasant yarn and a story with lessons well crafted in their execution.
The narrator did an astounding job at bringing the many characters to life. I was quite impressed with the variations he managed to portray. Even so, pay attention as there is quite a cast.
Very enjoyable!

Entertaining and Educational

Funny story. I was halfway through this book when my 8th grader asked me to help her study for her social studies test. On the European explorers of the Americas. I said “oh hey, I know this”.

Entertaining way to bring history to life for kids.

Narrator was great. Especially the varying inflections and accents. (But I admit I sped it up quite a bit.)

Adventure, Action and Magical!

League of the Lost Fountain is a tale involving time travel, discovering the fountain of youth, pirates, cannibals, and so much more! It is a book of life lessons focusing on love, forgiveness, truth, and kindness. This is a fun story rich with vivid details and the wonder of magic. Even the man who created the most magical place in the world makes a brief appearance!
Jason Born creates a story that is colorful, charming, and delightful. Each character is well developed but only when it is appropriate, which then adds to the richness of the story making the twists even more significant. Born writes in a style that enables the listener to keep the time travel piece straight as well as the unique situations the characters find themselves.

The narrator, Brian T. Schultz does a commendable job of providing unique voices for each character along with accents and other identifying vocal attributes. Schultz keeps the flow of the story moving at a quick but steady pace, adding intonations where they are appropriate. He kept the story moving forward and steady.

This is a fun book and while it may be for young adults, it has valuable life lessons that all adults need to be reminded of at any age! I highly recommend this book.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook.

Great Adventure!

Found the story and the narration riveting. Could "see" the characters as the story unfolded. Kept me engaged throughout. Loved the conclusion! Thanks. Diana

Impression of League of Lost Fountain

The weaving of history and fantasy containing so many sub plots and individual character struggles was quite impressive. I would recommend to anyone aged 9 or above. The work is extremely clever, entertaining, and inspiring.

Engaging adventure for time travelers!

A great read/listen for tweens, teens and adults who enjoy historical fiction and time travel adventures of pirates and early New World explorers. Engaging storyline with unexpected twists in the plot is enhanced by rich language, descriptive details and an array of well defined characters who come alive through a skilled narration that effectively delivers multiple voices in a variety of dialects. While this book is longer than many on the market today, the audio captured and maintained my interest from beginning to end. I’m definitely hoping there is a sequel planned for the near future!!

A Magical Tale

An enjoyable combination of adventure, magic, and time travel with some history. The detail and suspense kept us wanting to hear more! Highly recommend for families to listen together with kids age 9-10 and up.

Such a great, imaginative story.

The narration was brilliant. So many voices bring the story to life in an amazing way!

Truly a captivating Story

Jason Born has taken fantasy, history, adventure, romance and mystery and combined them all into one children’s story. The way he has brought forth multiple stories and intertwined them into one large narrative is ingenious. He continually leaves his reader in a state of curiosity, giving hints as to what is coming next, always leaving the reader desiring more. The characters are enticing, and the performance of Brian Schultz only makes them all the more intriguing. Between the detail of the writing and the drama of the narration, the reader is left truly able to picture in their own minds what everything must be like in the story.
I definitely recommend this book for any parent to have their children learn and be entertained, and even read for themselves!
