Wonderful audio book to real aloud!

We listening this audio book out loud during the first part of quarantine last year. It is written in a nice style with wonderful descriptions. it's a bit sketchy, but....it's interesting to note the much more proper listening decorating of the latter audio book. Thank you Trudi Tolani

The author and the audiobook is brilliant

I listen this with my kids 10 & 12, and they loved it! I found it fun to listen with them as well! It was full of adventure and we were trying to Figure out what we thought would happen next!

Adventure, curiosity and empathy, loved this !

I love this audiobook!! I had so much adventure listening it, that I finished it in less then a week!!! It's perfect for 4th and 5th graders! Yeah this is the audio book for me! Now I want a sequel, because lots of information was uncovered in the end. I would love to see if used in a sequel to fix the modern time using the past!!!

Ahhh to be young again

The story reminds my childhood, I felt like I grew up next door to Winnie. Given the current climate in the world today, it is always nice to be reminded of fonder memories

A walk down memory lane

Definitely created conversations amongst each other about times growing up in Jamaica. A must read/listen especially for those of Caribbean heritage.
