A wonderfully written book for young kids.

A book for all children. This book has everything and then some. The narrator is absolutely awe inspiring. I want my young nieces and nephews to read this book. I received this audio book for free at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

Can Wily save the world's dog population?

First of all, I am well over the age of the target audience. But, that didn't stop me from listening to and enjoying this very entertaining book.

The author has a keen imagination and I loved her world building and character development. Wily is a typical nerdy kid, a little overweight, picked on by bullies and bespectacled. He loves science and is constantly conducting experiments.

The canine population is dropping like flies and nobody seems to be able to figure out why or how to stop it. When Wily's own boxer dies, he is desperate to do anything to save him. Will his scientific knowledge and black box be able to save Sport?

I won't go into a lot of detail, but this book has a lot of great things going for it: dogs, spacecraft, Centaurs, magic, mind-reading and so much more. The writing is great and I would recommend this for kids who are old enough to not be bothered by descriptions of dead dogs.

The narrator, Dogen Eyeler, was perfect for this book and really added a lot my enjoyment. I was given the chance to listen to this book by the narrator/author/publisher and all opinions expressed are my own.

Awesome Characters, Great Book!

This was a fantastic book! The characters were well thought out, interesting and relatable, like the main character Wiley who has a lot of depth as soon as you are introduced to him in the first chapter. The dynamic of mixing mythology and technology is an interesting blend that makes the world feel full, yet limit less! Overall, I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it!
