Cute story, too many credits

It’s a cute coming of age story. But I don’t understand why one minute of credits & opening music is inserted every ~40 minutes or so. Once is enough, really.

Worth Pushing Through

Although it drags at times it’s worth pushing through to the end. Fun performances, though a little heavy on tropes, it’s the somewhat ambiguous ending that leaves the audience to fill in the gaps by treating us as intelligent that makes the experience worthwhile.

Blackhawk Boys

I love this series & so glad each book is about a different main character. Yet includes the rest as time has passed.

Read along with parent

Cute story, best listened to with an adult present that is fully engaged. One boy has 2 fathers and the lead girl has none. You may want to explain this to your young kids considering the target age group of this audible.

Disappointing ending

I really enjoyed the story until I realized they were not going to solve the mystery. They gave some clues to what might have happened but it was not the ending I was hoping for.

Hooked from the beginning

This is a wonderful story. It brought back memories of my summer as a camp counselor and years as an elementary school teacher. I was, in fact, upset that I had to wait for the release of chapter two. I NEEDED to know!

Now that I have the entire story, I have listened to it three times just to catch things I might have missed. I hope another book comes out because I'd like some answers.
