pure genius!!!

My son and daughter loved it. They actually only wanna listen to this everytime we get in the car. I don't mind either cause I enjoy it too. It's a wonderful journey thru musical history. The characters are fun and the story had my smiling and almost crying with joy. It had me on the edge of my seat all the way till the end.. I look forward to more from these guys.

OUTSTANDING!

This was one of the 2 monthly free listening choices from Audible or I never would have chosen it. I'm thrilled it was offered as it was ridiculously fun to listen to. It was creative, musically informative, ingenious, and all around great. It said to be for youth but even in my 7th decade it was a blast!! Worth the credit or cost if you didn't get it free. I'll be looking for others from these authors.

Family Friendly and Engaging

Our family enjoyed this book on our road trip. It grabbed our attention, was imaginative, and kept us captivated until the very end. I enjoyed the little tidbits of music history. The Callahan kids are examples of respect, creativity, teamwork, and sacrifice.

Fun

Fun story that could be realistic if you believed in time travel. It does show the importance of all music.

Cute little story!

This was a cute little story about a brother and sister time traveling. It would be a good story to listen to as a family while traveling.

Amazing Family Production

As the head writer lead singer for the band N2Kaos and the father of 9 year old twins, we loved it. This is a fantastic magical music ride that I inspires young musical minds and is loads of fun. I literally got chills as the opening dialogue and explanation of the concert set-up was happening. Way to go.
