“Hi Tomas.” -Birdie
I love every book on the IS series. Lauren Tarshis words throw me into the book, I also think that the narration is incredible and the people who have done it have amazing voices. They know when to be deep and when to be fast. I loved it and I hope Mrs. Tarshis writes more books.
