Helena Diaries

I enjoyed this short book, that filled in some gaps with the back story from Helena. Excellent narration.

Disappointing story!

No. A silly plot & lack of character development resulted in a tedious read. Narrator's voice was grating & southern accent exaggerated. Memorable moment- none.

it explained a lot

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

it was good mainly because I love to listen to johanna parker

If you’ve listened to books by Jana DeLeon before, how does this one compare?

it was kind of the same book just from a different persons eyes

Do you think The Helena Diaries - Trouble in Mudbug needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

sure there cute

If you read book one, you don't need this.

I purchased and was disappointed. I thought there would be more to Helena's story, but it was pretty much the same as book one.

HIgh Schooler's or maybe younger would enjoy

If you like nonsensical writing that is just to take up time and takes no brain power to listen to or read, this is your series.

Kinda neat after having read the first two...

One of my favorite narrators, first of all. Ms. Parker is amazing with her range of voices for her characters (female and make) and really enhances the audiobook experience!
This story was short & cute, but didn't really add much to the overall storyline. I've read & enjoyed the first two books in this series so far & it was kinda cool hearing Helena's perspective on events that have occurred, but I really got nothing substantial out of doing so. Meh. Still cute & a well written series overall :)
Thank you for stopping by!
Cheers,

Lots of Spoilers!

As suggested in summary, do not listen to this before "Trouble in Mudbog" book.
Way too many spoilers in this. I enjoyed it.
