Reseñas de la Crítica

"Captures the anger and frustration that accompanies a child's inability to control his life." (School Library Journal)

Wonderful

It was so cool I could not stop reading it! I really recommend this book!

Sweet, devilish and funny with a great lesson

This is a great story for family reading. All too often it is easy to overlook another's perspective on events. This is the story of two opposing views needing to find common ground.

great, heartwarming story

great story, easy read, loved enjoying with my son!!! well worth the time to listen.

5 & 7 year old boy approved

Listened to this twice while on a road trip with my boys. They both thought it was funny and it kept them interested during the drive. Story is told from the POV of a 10yr old boy, and was very sweet, relatable for my two.

I personally enjoyed the narration, and the story of a family in transition.

Highly recommend!

Good for a car ride

Both my kids, an 8 year old boy and 5 year old girl enjoyed this book on a three hour car ride. kept everyone quiet and entertained.

A simple. relaxing read/listen

If you are looking for something to tie you over before moving onto the next intense read, this would definitely fit the bill. I would also recommend this for younger readers too.

War with Grandpa

My 8yo grandson & I listened together & loved it . Great narration & story!

Loved it!

Grandpa is in for a big surprise, war has been declared and he had no idea it was coming. A good story, a good moral theme of resolving differences yet being friendly while negotiations are ongoing. The solution was a great one because it involved communication and ideas from all parties.

I had lots of laughs.

This is a very good book!

I want to listen it again and again !)
Narrator is a very good too!
Listen to it and you will not regret!

Great values and good kid-references

Loved the values this story subtly includes. It had my 9 year old hooked with interest, especially because of so many 9-year-old references (Star Wars, Risk, Hank Aaron etc). Definitely recommend for this age, my 7-year-old wasn't nearly as hooked.
