Do you know every nook and cranny of your neighborhood? How about under your neighborhood?
Do you let your kids walk home from school? It's just a few blocks, right? What lurks in the shadows? In the bushes? Or scarier yet, under the bushes?
Or is it all just happy-go-lucky Huckleberry Finn and exploring and adventuring in your own neighborhood? When do you know the difference? Maybe your kids know. Maybe they don't. How will you learn?
It began as a simple walk home, the same one we did every day after school. But our dog's ball went into something of a hole, or was it a cave? Maybe a tunnel. But are there tunnels in the city? The ball was pretty close to the entrance, but just far enough to be a little spooky. Should we just forget it?
Warning to parents: There are some questionable parenting decisions in this audiobook. It is not intended as a parenting handbook. There's a fine line between making the right decision and making the fun decision. When to choose which? How much do you involve your children in daily decisions? What if they involve danger? But what if your kids think it might be fun? You get the idea. Maybe I need a disclaimer....
You know in scary movies when you yell, "Don't go in there!" We went in. Yeah, I know. Ask your eight-year old why.

The story in it'self is not compelling for any reason that would make a story compelling on it's own merits. It does speak of adventure found at a local park and builds as to the reasons of what they are experiencing, but does not deliver any satisfying explanation to the elements that were built up.
The narration is really not a narration but a reading, with some misread words just started over instead of editing them out in post production. It also contains a clear enough recording that at times mouth and throat noises became a distraction.The Author/Father has written and narrates all but two chapters, one of each of the other two being written and then narrated by the 8 year old, and then the 10 year old. Again, fantastic for it's potential to serve as an example to others wanting to take this journey with their own children, but not what one would expect from a purchase on audible.

This is the first book I’ve listened to by these narrators. . His kids narrated their parts of the story. Editing is a little lacking and so is cadence but it makes it sound like it is truly what it is ... the kids reading a story they’ve made up.

Nice Family story

He uses the word “Damn!” early in the story which will disqualify it from many listening lists. And the production quality is amateur with several uncorrected mistakes. This does not take away from your ability to follow the story, it is just foreign on Audible.

An adventurous story

This book in essence was just fine. The story wasn’t impressive and neither was the reading.
The story was not very interesting or engaging. The story is about a dog getting lost in a hole that ends up being a cave. That is absolutely it. Since this is a children’s book, I don’t believe it would be able to hold a child’s attention for very long. There is one thing about the story that I find very endearing. It was written for his kids. It is so wonderful a father wrote and narrated an entire story just for his children.
The narration by the author was not good at all. He would stumble on every other sentence, and it made it difficult to pay attention and listen. Even though that’s true, the two boys narrated two chapters. They were a joy to listen to and made my heart melt.
The book is middle-ground. It isn’t great, and it’s not terrible. It could be a suitable story for young children.
A Fine Children’s Story

The story was suspenseful, funny and a tad creepy. Definitely worth a listen with the kids.
The narration was done superbly by the Author and the two children. Great job.

Very Entertaining Adventure for all ages

I picked up the books several weeks (months?) ago and was ecstatic to find the first one on Audible. I listen more than read and had only gotten a few paragraphs into Kite Hill.
Having reared two boys (sans pets), we had our share of adventures and devil-beware-let’s-do-it-because-it’s-fun moments. My first thought was, yeah, if I had them in the digital age, this would have been cool!
In less than 43 pages/ 58 mins, readers/listeners are reminded 12 times the main narrator/dad is “an adult”:
“Since I'm the adult.....” “What happens when the adult ...” “I was the adult ....trying to act adultly.” Yup. A dozen times.
Is he trying to convince himself? The repetition failed to move the story. It switches from past tense to present tense.
I applaud the family project - as it seemed like this was all fun and games and carelessly put together.
However, this is a rating for quality and storytelling, not effort, in which the latter would certainly be several more feathers in dad’s hat.
